Side door molding ?s - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

mikeukrainetz · 07-08-2006, 07:54 PM

You may be surprised at the slim oem door moldings. I had them on my malibu they were covered in dings and werent too noticable, not a scratch on the doors (till my better half totalled the car). At least the stock parts make an effort to fulfill two functions... otherwise youll have to just buy the gawdy black wood-grain and chrome things at the local parts store... lol.

Thank you so much for taking the time to elaborate

. Unfortunately, to me, dings and dents on OEM moldings themselves will also be difficult to ignore. The defaced moldings will cost more than a hundred dollars to replace. The black rubber ones do not show dings and dents like the colored ones.
Too bad that sometimes accepting the reality is the only solution

.
BTW, I have just noticed that there is a stone chip on my car's door, may be instead of spending money to repaint the door, I should consider to cover the chip with a side molding

hahaha!! reality sux.

MikeUk, you gotta give us more info on the side mouldings that you have available for the Yaris. in japan, there aren't as many trucks/SUV's so these cars aren't exactly designed to withstand blows from Inconsiderate Soccer Moms....
I could stand a blow from a....err.nevermind.

Couldn't we all? And you prolly should not get people going on the soccer mom's cause they pay attention to nothing outside of the vehicle!

I know I keep saying it and hopefully at one point once things are worked out with the city and the company ive been dealing with it will be reality. But I will be selling (again hopefullly) side mouldings and other oem type products, accessories and aftermarket parts for the yaris. There is no way I shouldnt be able to beat toyotas price for side mouldings....

The problem I keep seeing with stock molding is that it's always placed too low on the door. 80% of the dings I've gotten over the years have been about 6-12" above the molding. Designers seem to have forgotten that truck doors are higher than car doors, and more common on the road here in the US.

Just a small beef with car manufacturers whether anyone agrees or not. Whats up with trucks these days? I have a 70 chev pickup and beside a new Ford or Chev it looks like a dinky toy...
My old boss bought a new ford for his construction company and he couldnt even get a sheet of plywood in the bed. Seems like trucks are meant more now for soccer moms than work.
Anyway....

I agree....I don't the side moldings look that bad on the Yaris. and if it saves me from dents I'm all there.

mikeukrainetz · 07-17-2006, 04:55 PM
