Re: Body Side Protectors (Honda) Install Summary

tschirtz, nah, not going to rub your nose in it. I hope you can correct them without cussing too much. It's a good cautionary tale for others. Let us know how your correction went and if you're happy with your results.

Re: Body Side Protectors (Honda) Install Summary

Don't feel bad. These things happen. I just cracked my tail light with my cordless drill while re-assembling the tailgate. I was just wrapping up my electric lock and backup camera install when the drill battery whacked the lens. Ouch!

Thumbs up Re: Body Side Protectors (Honda) Install Summary

I have been thinking about getting some side protectors, after reading some the posted comments I B ready. Its my birthday this weekend & my wife asked what I wanted, so here is my opportunity to get something for my RR. Is one of the best places to buy the protectors still here at https://halcyon.webair.com/chesrownh...x.php/cPath/86 or do someone have a better spot?

Thanks...

Re: Body Side Protectors (Honda) Install Summary

I just installed the body side moldings today. I read through these posts and got good tips on the install. My wife dove right in to help measure and line them up.

Cool Re: Body Side Protectors (Honda) Install Summary

Am I missing something. Dont the strips just go into the indentions in the doors? What alignment is there? Measurements? Dont you just line it up with what you are covering?

Dazed and confused!

Re: Body Side Protectors (Honda) Install Summary

If you trust your eye and want to go for it that way, I suppose you can do what you want. I believe at least one person reported applying his by eye. You will find that a couple of people have gotten in a hurry and put one or more on crooked.

I found the curves and the lines a bit deceptive to my eye. There was one line of the two top moldings that would have been crooked if we hadn't spotted our error and used the ruler as a level to straighten them back out.

Also, the tape is VERY sticky. There's no easy repositioning once you start to apply them, even before you press them.
