How do you fix the molding on your car door?
Help! I noticed while running errands today that the molding on the driver’s side door of my car looks like it’s coming loose. Is this something I can fix myself? How do you fix the molding on a car door?

Lucky for you, fixing loose molding on your car’s side door is typically a cheap and easy fix.
If there’s nothing wrong with the trim itself, you can probably get away with reattaching the trim with the right molding tape or another adhesive. The adhesive you choose should be car-safe, water-resistant, and tolerant of extreme temperature differences. To prepare the surface, you’ll want a car-safe adhesive remover, too. You should be able to find both kinds of products at an auto parts store.
Once you have your materials, here’s what you can do:
- Clean both sides of the molding and the surface of the door you’re applying it to, using adhesive remover as necessary.
- Apply the adhesive to the door’s surface (where the molding will go).
- Reapply the molding to the door, pressing firmly across the length of the molding.
Make sure you follow any particular directions for the adhesive and adhesive remover you’ve chosen.
Pro-tip: In case of inclement weather, make sure your car’s in a dry place as the adhesive dries so a little rain won’t ruin your work.
Once you’ve taken care of your car molding, you can take care of the rest of your car by making sure you’re covered by the right car insurance policy. Car super app
