The body side molding has left the house.....
Well, the dealer applied body side molding has officially been removed. Gone, finished, abolished from all future duties. It's amazing how little damage was done to the finish by this molding. After removing it, I went through a two step buffing process to remove the built on grime, residue and abrasions, and there is almost no trace of it having been on the car. Almost is the key word. What remains are the multiple 3/32" screw holes....Were it not for these I would be home free. I really like the way it looks without the molding, but molding it must have to cover the holes.
I'm looking forward to getting the new factory style molding applied, but first the heater core has to get finished so the fender can be buttoned down, and the hinge roller needs replace on the drivers door to make sure the alignment doesn't change. I've got several trips over the next 10 days so it may be a while. we'll see...
