Hi there

Not sure what they're called, but those black "bump protectors" on my one backdoor is kinda faling off. I want to take it off, fix it with some hot air and put it back. How do I do that? Are they glued or do the come off with a certain technique? :-/

With bump protectors I mean those rubbery black thingies running alongside the car from front to back in the middle of the car. What they are called in English I'm not sure of. Sorry for my lack of knowledge there

Door moulding is the name that Vauxhall uses. Bump strips, nudge strips are also common terms. They're glued on using a double sided tape, but there's a clip towards each end for location. In the UK rears are about £35 & fronts are about £55 - I've just bought one of each.

Thank you This place has a reply speed that's incredible I'm amazed!

So it's a question of jiggling them off then? Don't want to buy a new one (yes, pricy here too!). Just want to fix it.

Again, thanks a lot!

Have a good day

I didn't do mine, the paint shop did. I'm sure he used a cheese wire of some description though to remove them. Be carefull because there a metal plate underneath which is easily bent.
