I need some for my front right fender when I put a new one on (mine is kinda wrinkled and that plastic is gone). I think shipping to Maine would suck though.

Anyone know what that trim, or moulding is called? I see lots of websites with this stuff but I'm not sure what its called since there is no pictures.

FYI dont just pull the trim off if its coming off already. I dont know the best way to get it off, someone will prolly chime in here. BUT I pulled a peice off the pass. door (it was coming off a bit) now i have no paint where the glue was still glued well. lol

a heat gun is the best way to get that stuff off(be careful though), it will leave some glue residue on the truck and then use goof off or an equiv. something that wont hurt the paint to get the rest of it off.

My trim was held on with drywall screws an one side, so was my armrest and door panels, and dash.

I need to put 2 or 3 pieces back on. What kinda glue strip is used to re-install the moulding? Mine had 2 strips of glue about 1/2'' wide at the top and bottom of the moulding strip. The way the glue looked it came off of a roll because it was a perfect width on the pieces I took off. Anyone know? Thanks

They use trim tape which you should be able to get at any paint/autobody supply place, get the 3M stuff.

My trim was glued but also had some pop-ins, like little plastic hats with inserts. I found out when a dozing driver sideswiped me and took all the trim off me driver's door and cab.
