hi guys.. been a while
my first b5 is still in the shop as i gave up on my transmission problems. so far they've installed another and now the speedometer wont work and it wont go into 5th gear.. we'll see.

anyways, its time to work on my other b5 - same type 2.8QA/AHA - and get it cleaned up before the winter beats the **** out of it. right now the only issue is with the outer door trim. im not sure what this is called but its rubber, seems to snap into place, and in my case is falling off in two places:

front driver side


front passenger side


it doesnt snap back into place and im not all that interested in gluing it against the paint..

could you guys help me out with what this is called so i can either look into sourcing the two pieces or seat them back down correctly?

 

They're lower door trim moldings, aka "lowers". ECS sells them. You won't be able to snap them back on - the sleeves that the door clips slide onto are rotted. They're easy to change out.
