Default W68 Door Moldings

Are the W68 package moldings on the lower part of the door held on by screws through the door or adhered to the door? Meaning can a W68 door be swapped on to a non-W68 vehicle and vice versa or are there going to be holes in it?

If I remember correctly it's on with double sided tape.

double sided tape for the door poriton of the rocker extension/ sideskirt.

the side skirt that goes from front fender to rear quarter has metal brackets that are riveted into the body (still have holes exposed on mine now that I switched) the lip of the side skirt slips behind the brackets and the underbody side is screwed in as well as screws in both wheel wells......useless info to you buy someone may find this in a search one day.

the rocker underneath the door will have holes in it as well, so its not ideal to turn a w68 into a formula, but the TA side skirts cover it up nicely.

Do the TA side skirts use the same brackets as the W68 skirts? Now that you've got me thinking......... lol

I had already taken mine off by the time I got my sideskirts....I took them off blind is why i know all this crap. So it was kind of a punt situation, so im not sure if you could use them or not. I didnt I just used 3m tape againts the rocker and the screw holes on the under body and wheel wells to mount mine.
