Doors side moldings

ilovetvalot · May 2, 2009

Does anybody have an Idea for side doors moldings because the only ones that I have found on ebay are crappy...?

i went to my local paint shop supplies and found they sell rubber strips with self adehsive on the about 2 inch wide and about 1/4 inch thick, was relativly cheap and easy just cut to length etc

I used the factory ones. They are fine but there was a learning curve on installation. They are very flexible and one of mine has a dip in the center. On the 2nd, 3rd and 4th, I held it against the car and flipped it into position, which kept them straight.

Here is what they look like color matched for Sunburst Orange.

My only problem with those is that they doesn't match the true Patriot side moldings. They look more like the Compass one...

I am getting black one for my red Pat, 1" or little wider.. Easy to cut to length and install

I need to get some of these myself. Despite being careful where I park, I keep getting new dings. The doors on these things must be some super thin metal as it seems to dent before the paint chips

I still think they look nice on the vehicle.

They cost as much or more than Jeep factory moldings. You can order factory moldings at a discount here:

I would use the 800 number to call and make sure you order the correct parts, the diagram is confusing to me at least.

I look at it this way... What looks better? Moldings or dents/dings?

Pretty nice alternative Petbug!

I live in Ontario, Canada so I am waiting for a quote for the shipping. Dark is a nice color as I don't have any chrome on my pat sport... will fit pretty well with the black bottom of the doors...

Thanks!

Hi Plumonium,

I am a bit curious:
What is the size number of your X-ice tires?
Mine is: p215/65/R16

I have noticed a difference while driving the pat as the tire is lower than stock p205 70 r16...

Good tire but I would like that it exist in p215/65/R16!

Hi,

mine are 215/65/R16. Compare to your 205/70/r17, it is a 1.1% smaller. However, my summer tires are the SRA's which are 3.7% bigger. Except the speedo reading, i didn't notice much difference. Road noise is comparable. I think the giggest difference was the height when sitting in the Pat and definitly the look!!!!
