anyone know how to take off the side moldings for a 5th gen? i want to get em panited but the shop is charging me to take em off. i want to alleviate some of the costs by taking off the parts by myself....TIA

 

Should be able to yank the sob's off, mmm.. I know they are in there w/ pegs and adhesive tape I'd imagine, like the good double sided ****.

 

does anyone know for sure? i dont want to yank too hard and have the pegs break, or even worse, have them break......

 

i think on the ex's and the si's...they have nuts in the back of the door..you might have to open your door panel to get them..not quite sure..but i know there could be nuts...as for my cx..they added it...with some sticky tape...i yanked them off...

 

opps..i'm osrry..thought i was in the eg+ room...

 

I believe you have to slide the molding before you can yank them out, pretty similar to the side skirts. Which side to slide to I'm not sure....

 

yo man, i've got a 92 accord ex and when i took mine off i had to take off the door panels and remove the clear sealant sheet. the molding has plastic v-type locks on it, the ones that once you pop them in the whole the wings spread out behind the whole, ya know. anyway, once you have the door panel and sealant sheet off, just grab a pair of plyers, find the locks inside the door frame, and push the wings back together while pulling the moldng away. to make things easier you might want to use an exacto knife and cut right behind the moding beforehand to break the seal on it. i'm assuming things haven't changed any since the 92 as far as the molding goes. if i can be of any more help just let me know. hit me up at thomasellis@charter.net
