Mark 2 GT2 Exterior Trim

Hi All,

Just decided to tidy up my GT2 which Ihave now owned for over 10 years.

The trim at the base of the doors is bulging where water at the drainage points has caused rusting and the trim has been pushed out.

Are these trims easy to remove and refit and will they straighten if put in a freezer or any other methods??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The trims basically just pull of as they're only glued on. Until you take them off, you won't be sure if it's the metal strip that stiffens the trim that's rusted or the door itself. Usually it's the metal strip in the trim that's rots and makes them bulge, if that's the case then you will need to replace the trim. To reattach it, get a tube of Tigerseal panel adhesive. You will need a cartridge gun to put the tube of Tigerseal in. You can get tigerseal from most car shops or off eBay.
Hope that helps !
