    Default Lower door trim rust

    Hey guys I have a bit of rust forming under the outer, lower door trim bits on all four doors, causing the trim to warp outwards a bit. I'm thinking I will purchase the parts online and have a body guy paint and install them. I realize getting rid of the rust completely is almost impossible but what can I do to minimize the potential of the rust returning?

    thanks,

    nix

    What website are you planning on purchasing the trims from? I am missing a piece from the lower driver's side.
    Thanks!

    could you help with directing me to the parts on the BMA site? I can never find what I'm looking for on there.

    You can use the contact form and ask for pricing on all the parts you require, and they will get back to you within 24 hours, usually. I have had to do that for parts that are not listed on their site. Very friendly and helpful staff.

    ok I called BMA and the parts are $60 for each front door piece and $70 for each rear door piece. That's $260 just in parts. Hmmm.

    are these the pieces on the bottom of the door, or the middle of the door?

    I think you gave them the wrong part. I bought mine locally for $28.
