Default Door side moldings (bottom) "pulling away"

Does anyone know what to do about this? The molding that runs along the bottom of the door on my TA is starting to pull away from the body. It looks like these things might just be glued on, but I don`t see any residue that would.suggest that.

The side moldings are just held on by what I can best describe as a "sticky putty". Go ahead and do the !SideMolding Mod....it's the best free mod ever!

I just did mine last night. Took about 20 min per side. Pull slowly and upward, should take most of the glue off. The rest will rub off with your thumb. Then clean and wax. Easy free apperance mod.

I think you guys may be misunderstanding me. This isn`t the rubberish molding going along the middle of the door. This is the plastic molding on Trans Ams about 2 inches in height running along the bottom of the doors, and actually, they are just below the doors. They seem to be held onto the underside of the car with about 5 screws underneath the car, but I cant see what`s holding them on on top.

you are talking about the stock gfx's right?
if so i think they are held with 3m automotive double sided tape on the top,
and screws on the bottom.

I'm pretty sure they are screwed to the bottom
