The molding (body colored black emerald like the rest of the car) has started to oxidize on each of my doors. Any thoughts on how to replace them or where I can find them to buy? The level of oxidization is too heavy to rub out.
Thanks!

 

That's funny, I have the same exact problem. Is your oxidation on both front doors only? If you get the answer and its reasonable, I'm right behind you replacing it.

 

No, its the entire strip. The passenger side strip is fine, but the black emerald is almost gone on the driver side strip. I'll let you know what I find out!

 

I took mine off and sane them down a bit and then painted them with an air gun and a compressor. Put three coats of paint on and two coats of clear and they have been fine for a year!

How do you get them off? Up and pull?

 

You just have to oull them off. I would suggest using a hairdryer or a heatgun to warm them up a bit so that they are easier to remove. Or you can park it in the sun for a day and that will do it too.

Then I went to the auto parts and bought this wheel that you put on the end of your drill and it acts like a big eraser on a pencil. Use it to remove the tape residue from the trim and from the door. Then paint the strip and let it dry over night. Take some rubbing alochol and clean the back of the strip and the side of the car. Buy some new double sided tape and slap em' on.

Be careful when you buy the paint that you get the right paint code or they, obviously, will look stupid if they don't match!
