Re: body moldings

Which door plastics? The door panel or the plastic around the door opener/locking mechanism or another plastic?

I posted it in body meaning exterior moldings, specifically the ones that run along the bottom of the door to match the ground effects on my '91 Z28. They seem to be curling away form the door. If pictures will help I will get them, but it may take a few days (its at my dads shop).

Re: body moldings

Earlier gfx are composite material & easy to fix with fiberglass.Not sure what later styles are made of, read they're more like the bumper covers, if so I would try a heat gun to soften it & bend back into position.
