reapplying door cladding?

Discuss washing, waxing and detailing information as well as interior/exterior cosmetic modifications. This includes neons, body, cosmetic wheels, etc. Even under the hood detailing.

reapplying door cladding?

Post by G1eitz »

Hey, I just recently bought another bonneville, and overall it is in very good shape... but on the passenger door there is a small part where the cladding is pulling away. If i push it in it feels like it would take A LOT to hold it back where it should be, Is there a very strong or special fix to this? Also, is there an easy way of removing the old tape? razor blade? Goo Gone?

Any help is appreciated!

You gotta remove all the old stuff. You can try goo gone and a guitar string or some fishing line to get through it. Then reapply the cladding with some 3M double sided tape.

If you need clips, Andrew (harofreak00) can help with that

He means the outer door cladding or the "ribbing" on the outside. No clips to break on the 2000+. It is merely held on with the tape.
