Problem molding. The fit isnt perfect anymore

[Legros]

Hello,bought a used 2003 Vibe GT couple month ago... Really like the car (would had appreciate a bit more torque but anyway... ). I have one issue with my two front wheel molding. The fit isn't perfect with the car body. The car is not longuer under the full garanty... Anyone had this problem and found a way to solve (fix) the problem?If this is of any help i could put a pix or two to give you a better idea.Tks.

Welcome to GenVibe!! Please post pictures of the problem. That would probably help out a bit. I would tell you to make sure all the screws and bolts are in the whole way, but without a look at what's wrong it's kinda tough to tell what's wrong.

There's the possiblity it was in a wreck.

If it's the gladding on the bottom, I almost guarantee some clips have come out or off. My passenger side door needs a new clip as my wife pulls the door shut when it's stuck on the grass and the clip just pops right off.

Hello again. Will take some picture tonight to clarify... But it's not on the bottom, it's on the top section of the wheel.

I really don't like that possibility of the care being a wreck...... Did made a carfax check but i know that it's not 100% reliable.. Anyway.

Salut legros! Je suis a Lasalle pas loins de toi. Where did you buy the car?

[Legros]

Hello,cool happy to see some confrere des environs ! . I bought the car at Autopublic/Laval and i must admit it wasn't the best experience. Had to return a couple of time to get some things fixed.

Well it may just need to be popped back into place but that does stick out quite a bit. People here have been removing their bumpers, maybe someone can lend some insight as to how thats all on there. Might just need some molding glue.

I had that problem on the passenger side front door. Looks like the double sided tape that holds the molding on has come loose. I took mine into the dealership a few weeks ago to have them fix it under warranty. I would check around at your dealership or at an autobody shop to see how much it would be to fix. It think it would be fairly simple to correct, the molding just has to be taken off, the old tape removed, and new tape applied, then stick the molding back on. Might be more time consuming than I think though. Sorry I can't be of more help, I just dropped my car off in the morning and they had it done for me at around 10:30 am. Not sure of the exact process they used.

I looks like it was put back on incorrectly when or if it was taken off, if I recall, there are small clips that when the cladding is put on they clip onto the body panel to hold it securely, you may just need to remove the panel and make sure it lines up OK and reattach it. Just pull it down and push it back up on to the body panel. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
