RE: Door ding mouldings falling off

[Andrew Ballantine <ab@openorders.com>]

I had this happen to my old Golf.  I took it in to the dealer , they put
some glue on it (for free) , it fell off completely the next day.  I fixed
it by using some marine weather proof adhesive I got a local marina.  Make
sure the strip and groove where it sits are clean and dry before sticking it
back on. Never had any problems after that. Hope this helps.

Subject: Door ding moldings falling off


Anyone please comment:

On the drivers' door (the one that gets used the most obviously), the door 
ding moldings (strip of plastic that protects against door dings) is
starting 
to fall off.  On both ends of the strip on the drivers door, the molding has

fallen about a half an inch.  When I rolled into worked this morning, my 
mileage read 22,999.  Shouldn't this be covered under warranty?  On a
related 
note, please let me know what other experience people have had with fixing 
this problem on their own.  I want a permanent solution short of drilling
and 
screwing the mother fu_ker in place.
