i was wondering how i remove the side moldings on a 97 dx hatchback.

 

well, if you want to keep them nice, you'll have to take off the door panels from the inside and undo the clips. if you don't care about them, you can just rip them off and break the clips. you'll bend the moldings if you just rip them off (trust, i know first hand).

 

Take them off nicely. You can bend your door up if you just rip them off. You have to squeeze the clips together from the inside of the car. It's a pain, but a necessary pain.

 

DO NOT RIP EM OFF

listen to westcoast

 

i didn't bend the door at all. just the molding. but it definitely wasn't the nicest way to take them off.

 

You can have cool "speed holes" when you remove 'em...

 

adds 8 hp. i dyno'd it.

Nothing like keeping the inner door cool. h:

 

Needle nose pliers, take off the door panels and proceed.
