    Palagay nyo ok tanggalin ang Door moulding ng auto? I drive a 2003 Ford Ghia, meron ung door molding with chrome strip in between, as oppose to the the Lsi which is a lower trim. Problem ko kc paparetouch ko ung portion ng door at cguradong tatamaan ung moulding. Bka kc masira or di ma rub properly ung edges around that moulding. Ive seen cars that removed there door mouldings intentionally to give it a sportier-cleaner look daw. Kasi kung pipinturahan at tatanggalin un, bka di na maibalik ng maayos e. By the way Iv checked with ford at naka-adhesive lang naman sya. Please help me decide guys...

    Its a matter of personal preference. Kung gusto mo, pwede mo rin ipa-body color yun.

    naka-adhesive lang naman sir kaya pwede ulit ibalik iyan using 3M adhesive products...imho, remove it first then ipapintura nyo na yung buong pinto....kadalasan nagsisimulang matuklap ang repainted part doon sa edges ng moulding kapag nagpa-repaint at hindi ito tinanggal (based on experience sa dating ride ko-Corolla XE)...

    if you will remove all the other door mouldings, be prepared for a repaint...may natuklap kasi nang konti sa factory paint ng Corolla ko noon nung sinubukang tanggaling nang dahan dahan...

    Thanks! Decided na, off it goes... would anyone of you by any chance know how to remove this in the safest way? Na hindi mabakbak ung stock paint? Would 3M adhesive remover work or kerosene or sinulid, kahit ano saka ung procedures na din. TY!

    If you take it off, magiging prone to dings and dents ka from other cars sa parking lot. Ewan ko ba kung bakit walang moulding ang City at Echo. Ang dali tuloy ma-dent.

    That's the downside of it. Anyway kung maibabalik naman ng maayos cguro after repaint e ikakabit ko na din. Finger's crossed...;)

    Hi Sir Lance_R,

    good luck sir!

    OT: I also own a 2002 Ford Lynx Ghia, sa trunk lid ng ride nyo wala ba kayo napapansin na tanggal yun paint sa tabi nun chrome na nakapaligid sa kabitan ng plate number? yun sa akin kasi may mga tiklap na pintura at may rust na yun iba. Dinala ko sa casa at buti naman under warranty yun...they repainted it, yun lang up to now di ko pa nakukuha yun ride ko...last friday ko pa iniwan sa kanila yun.

    regards,

    use sinulid na matibay, prepaid cards or guitar cords...lagyan nyo muna ng masking tape yung paligid ng moulding para di magasgasan yung ibang doors...medyo mahirap magtanggal ng matitirang adhesive...3M Adhesive remover is not enough...sa brother in law ko, I used gasoline tapos kutkutin nyo na lang dahan dahan ng kuko...apply na lang ulit kayo ng wax after...
