Broken Body Side Molding

[enndee]

Got onto the freeway this morning and accelerated hard, heard a snap and looked up through the drivers side window to find my 'rain guard' aka 'body side molding' missing a great big chunk.

It had a snap previously, which I didn't attend to, and unfortunately the quickly increased airflow caught the loose segment and snapped it cleanly off.

Does anyone have any ideas how to replace these parts? They seem to be attached to plastic nuts, but they also seem to be held by double sided tape.

I've attached a pic from the GTR FAST workshop manual which I think is the correct part numbers, and the offensive banged up spec molding on my car.

Cheers!

I just removed mine, its only held on with double sided tape. I havent taken the other side off yet, cos I havent decided if I want to replace mine and paint it black, or just get rid of them both.

Yeah I'd probably remove mine too, they don't look good at all.

How did you go about removing the plastic pins and mounting tabs? What did you use to remove the double sided tape, I'm just enquiring because I don't want to use anything that will bugger up the paint job.

The paint underneath them doesn't look to crash hot though...

I can really see this turning into a Mr. Bean fiasco where I'll stuff something up, and I'll end up needing to repaint the entire car...

I just pulled it off and used white spirits to get mine off. Its not actually attached to the paint work, but the rubber seal so you'll be fine.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Can't wait to get this darned thing off - it looks so offensive when it's borken.

Cheers mate!

LOL! Just trying to help mate!

Maybe you should wrap them?

[NA_Goodness]

Charles, dont tempt me like that! Ok, maybe you should...

How much to get them and the my wiper blades wrapped?
