molding question hey i have a 98 firebird and i tried to take the molding off today. The two small pieces on either side of the door came off with no probem, but when i started to take the large middle piece off of the door it looked as if there was no clear coat under the molding. there was a slight indent under the molding since there was no clear coat. i put it all back on the car but i was just wondering if this happened to anyone else and if it could be solved in any CHEAP way???

I remember one guy taking his off and it either peeled the paint or clear. I think he had the door repainted. I don't remember who it was though

yea thats what i figured it was from, the paint. however, i just bought the car from a guy in florida who had it sitting in a garage all its life. it only has 13500 miles on it, 2000 of which i put on it. so i find it hard to believe that the door would have been repainted at some time?

i guess tomorrow i could look at the other side and see if the door molding is like that as well. if it is perfect underneath it then somethin is fishy
Who says 13k mile cars arn't keyed? My car was keyed back a few years before I had it and the door was re-painted, and when they painted, and went to clear everything, they cleared right over the moldings.

you guys have it good. my door got repainted and toes idiots only sprayd the top part of the door and when i took mine off i noticed that the clear was fucked up. and the worst part is that the color they used for the respray is a bit defferent than the original torch red so i got a two tone door
