Wheel well molding
I have been told that I should remove that little strip of molding/rubber whatever you want to call it that runs along the rear wheel-well of the car. I was told that water collects inbetween the rubber and the car and cause oxidation, rust, etc... Is this true? Do you do this? Please comment....

Re: Wheel well molding (Mag00n)
Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead but I remember hearing the same thing. I work at a Honda dealership and they said they fixed this problem on newer Hondas. I have a 2000. Can anyone add to this discussion?
