Re: Body Side Protectors (Honda) Install Summary
This first pic is just of Harold holding up the top front trim to see how it looks. You install the back top trim first and work forward then back on the bottom. We followed the measurement instructions on the left side. By the time we added the second top molding on the front door, I noticed we were high at the opening side of the front door by about 1 or 2 mm. Not much, but enough that I wanted to make sure we didn't keep putting them on crooked. I'd just read a bunch of the install threads and recalled Duncan's tip for making a template out of thin cardboard. I found a piece of cardstock and cut the five lengths that are used with two of the 100 mm size for the lower trim on the front door. This helped us with the rest of the strips, but I still eyeballed them to make sure. We came up with yet another strategy on the passenger's side when the measurement method would have left the top front trim about 3 mm low.
