Since you're a body guy and while I have your attention, is the door molding on my car held on with double sided foam tape? I want to get rid of it but don't want holes left behind in my door.
Im pretty sure there should be two alignment holes on the door for the mouldings, one towards the front and one towards the back, but tape is all that holds it on.

edit:
Im looking atthe diagram on the computer and it doesnt show any holes in the door in the illustration. I looked at a grand prix door on there too and it doesnt show any holes either, but I know that there are because im working on one right now. I think the best way to find out for sure would be to pop off the door panel and take a peek inside.

I think the 5th and 6th gens might be different. You never know though. Hopefully it is just a feel off moulding, with no holes. BTW chris I like your signature.
