Replacing Kick Molding - How To

[kobejo34]

I had this experience when the dealer removed my seat to fix a popping issue. Basically they scratched the paint and molding. I was told to install the molding that goes near the door sills closest to the seat belt they would have to remove the seat again. Geeze I was hoping it was easier that that. Anyone know if I move the seat forward enough I can change this myself. I have the parts just didn't have time for them to install today.

I cant help with your question, but if the dealer caused that damage I would not be lifting a finger to fix their mistake, I would make them do it.

This is off topic, but what side steps are those? They are the nicest looking ones I've seen yet. I also agree with James, the dealership should be doing all of the work to repair the damage they caused.

The step can be removed to just have slides if you like or rotated up to protect the body b

Ok I was able to replace both from and rear pieces without removing the seat. There is a cut out for the seatbelt. I thought I might have to remove the large star bolt that holds the seatbelt but the slit made for easy work.

I would have taken it back to the dealer but they jacked it up so bad the first time even 100% better would still be a disaster.

15 minutes of time, saved 3.15 in gas heading to dealer, and the possibility of having to repaint again.
