What is Automotive Molding

Molding is a decorative component of the exterior body of a car, truck or SUV. Simply put, it is a profiled strip of plastic, chrome or hard rubber which can be located at different body parts; including windows, sides, fenders, and windshield. The molding is glued to the body at vulnerable places such as doors. It protects the body from scratches and damage from rubbing against other cars and objects.

Why Your Classic Car Needs New Molding

Automotive molding has an aesthetic appeal. It covers the gaps between glass and metal and between panels with increased clearance. Side moldings may be installed along the middle and bottom of doors and at the corners of bumpers to protect the body during minor collisions and side scrubs.

How to Install Automotive Car Molding

The installation method depends upon the type of molding and where it is going to be installed. Side molding is usually self-adhesive or is glued to the body and supported with duct tapes until the glue dries up. Windshield molding, window weatherstrips, and rain channel molding are installed using clips. To install cast convex molding, prepare the surface by washing and degreasing the area and let it dry before applying the adhesive.
