Yes, !side moulding is almost always the right thing to do.

Using search to figure out how to do it:

Not necessarily. You never know what's under that paint unless you are the original owner. And especially since yours is a '93 I would be especially careful. Here's what my friend did not know about his car when he took his side molding off:

Well, yeah. I forgot about that problem. I guess that would exclude it under the almost always respect. But it doesn't seem too hard to put back on with what I have read on here...just some 3M adhesive and time. With the amount of success stories compared to the amount of horror stories, I'd still recommend trying it. Just be careful and take your time.

do it! i recently did mine, but i didn't just rip it off. i used fishing line, ran it behind the molding to cut them off, used my thumbs to peel off all the left over adhesive on the door, then used gas to rub off all the resedue from the adhesive. took about an hour
