Hello,The trim that is on my door (that is supposed to protect the car if a door bangs into it) is all scratched up. Can I remove all this trim off the car and have it look much sleeker? Is it only held on by adhesive or is there some holes behind it? Thanks!

I think it's tape and clips

It is held on by glue/tape and clips... there are holes behind it, so I wouldn't suggest taking it off.

Trim removed and yes it has holes under the trim.

Wave, he actually found holes behind the door. The determination was that the front doors had the holes, the rear holes did not.

ohh gotcha, is all the vibes like this? or just the older ones? 03/04?

my 05 has holes in the front doors. and i didnt relize it until i sawed it all the way off. so i had to heat the glue back up and put it back on.

wonder why they'd drilled in on the front doors, but double sided taped on the backs..you'd think they would just use double sided tape for both the front and the back doors

They probably have them there just for locating the trim. The back one is located based on the front position, but the pin holes (and pins in the trim) locate the specific location it belongs.

yea i "guess" that makes sense...lol..good thing im not taking them off

I'm glad I didn't take these off yet, and now probably won't.
