Dude, you don't know what I've tried so don't preach to me. :squint:

I've taken that molding off many MANY times and I see no need to rip anything off my car when there's a 'correct' way to do it. If you took your car to the dealership to replace one of those moldings would you want them ripping them off? Probably not.

I learned a long time ago that if you force something, it will bite you back.

this is jmo and the way I would do things. You can use a hammer for all I care. h:

yes i would expect a dealer to do it the "right" way or whatever b/c i would be paying them. but i did it my self for free. if i would have taken out all of my interior pieces to do it "right" it would have taken an extra hour or so. sure i just ripped them out and i didnt break nor bend anything :fawk: . so i guess if it makes you feel like you are better then go ahead, either way you get the same result

That's your prerogative. And no, you don't get the same result. If you did, why wouldn't the dealership rip them off? Cause it can bend the holes in the doors. h:
