I jave a couple of fenders I'm sanding on and was curios how the trim moulding is fastened on. Is it glued, I can't seem to find any nuts where it might be bolted.
Thanks Scoty

 

the ones on my 84' were held on with 2 rivits, easy enough to get off. and i think the ones on the door have 4 or 5

 

The later style ones are held on with double sided tape.

 

You're kidding, right? I mean...that just seems so.....cheap!

 

So on my 91 I could just carefully pull them off?

 

Well it's not like double sided scotch tape or anything. It's strong stuff. And you can peal it off, but you will be left with the tape still there, you'll have to get that off somehow. Also if your car has ever had a repaint it's most likely that those peices weren't removed and the paint under it will be lower and it won't look too good.

 

if you were realy carefull i think that carb cleaner will take the tape off just dont scrubit off rubb it off it will work i did it took smoe time but worked

 

I have an 85 and they are held on with the double stick tape.

 

Thanks guys. I was kinda thinkin it might be tape but wasn't sure and didn't want to tear anything up

yep, its some double sided stuff.... one of mine fell off a while back, and i just used this rubber sealant stuff to glue a new one on (the front drivers side fender). still going strong at 8 months....

 

I'm a little surprised that no one has mentioned the rubber erase wheel. Hook it up to a drill and there you have it. I'd rather use that than some sort of chemical. (I'm really scared of messing up my paint)

 

so would the suggestiosn work well on removing stickers as well?

 

For stickers I use a heat gun and 3m adhesive remover. And now that i think about the door moldings more, my 89 was held on my double sided tape and my 87 had a very gooey glue type of thing holding them on, i used adhesive remover to get that off once the molding was off.

 

for my puposes I need the moulding removed to sand and paint the fenders, so I'm not that concerned about the paint
