eyy, i need to replace the side door strips on my vy commordore. does anybody know what they exactly r called? They are the black stripes that are halfway on each door on the executive models. The models that dnt have colour colted all around.

Cheers

I think they are called protector strips.

Thay are called door moulds . They only come in grey and must be painted to suit the colour code if nessasary.

Remove the old mould and fit the new type on with double sided tape on the top and sikaflex on the bottom.

The reason thay break is cos the tight ass in holden dont fit enought glue to hold them to the door skins.

Yes I have this problem. When you open the door it catches on the front guard and gives you a loud bang because the glue ('urathene' I think they use) has lifted a bit. Ive just taped the end down a bit while I wait to get it fixed.

I want to remove mine altogether, but apparently they are stuck on pretty tight and will probably damage the paint when they are removed. I think the car looks better without them in my opinion.

i was about to say if one has fallen off, make the rest of them fall off too

but if it difficult like holdensupporter said stick it back on

Just go find some at a wrecker somewhere, peel them off, paint them and put them on your car...?

madgamer2006 · #13 26-07-2008, 03:18 PM

they dont peel lol they snap...

fella on ebay sold me the whole set which was fiberglass for $99 + postage of $25

the eBay sellers ID is: adelaidevehicleenhancement

Just ask him if he has some vy door protector strips... only get them if you plan to paint them. Thats what i did and it saved me $500
