Chrome door guard mouldings

[z0n3]

I'd use some IPA to prep the surface, but that 3m tape ain't no joke. It will stick.

Thanks for the reply, you are speaking to the 3m tape that comes with the door mouldings from dawn enterprises?

Ditto! In the past two weeks, I've gotten not one, not two, but FIVE freaking door dings on the upper crease, three big ones on the passenger side and two on the driver side. I know it's not due to how I'm parking, since I'm very conscientious about parking in the center between the lines, so this is really ticking me off! I'm looking for door moldings now, and I really like the look of these, but if they don't stick out far enough to protect the top crease then they aren't worth it for me...

And people give us he!! for taking up two spaces at the parking lot. Wonder why?

I have the molding on my limited and I think I want to have it wrapped to match the body color. I feel like it looks cleaner without it. Here's my ****ty photoshop (wheels are photoshopped too)

I agree. There’s a reason I removed mine.

I like the chrome door moldings and just installed a pair on my 1500. I went with LJ International. They look good from a few feet away, but there is a small defect in the the molding that I didn't see until after it was installed. Definitely recommend getting a different brand than what I purchased.

My problem with Dawn Enterprises is that their product is only 4 pieces (i.e., not 8) and thus does not extend onto the bed.

Too bad it's not available in black or body-color, instead of chrome.

Really wish I would have bought this set instead.

Perhaps you could order the black set and have them painted to match your paint codes.

That's what I did with the tailgate rams head, except I painted it myself instead of having a shop do it. I will be doing the hood emblems this summer.

Your problem is my reason for buying the DE product. That after thought chrome piece on the bed of the Limited molding package detracts from the overall look to me.

Possibly on the 5.7' bed, but IMO the 6.4' bed is long enuf to need it.

Just put these on today. The Dawn ones were out of stock for the next couple of weeks. Took a gamble on the ECOTRIC ones for $53 on Amazon. Very impressed with the quality. Great instructions. Came with a vial of ProBonD Activator. No alcohol wipes but I had a bottle anyway. No defects nor blemishes. The Dawn or Mopar ones may be better but I can't really see how they could be $100 to $200 better. Time will tell, of course, but initial impression is very favorable.

With a new Laramie, I'm thinking of putting a set of these on too.

A question that was asked and never fully answered is: "How is the protection aspect?"

Is placing them higher, like one poster showed, better for protecting from paint/door dings?

OR is putting them in line with the "RAM" logo sufficient?

Thanks for your feedback?

 

[ramhead]

Late reply but placing them higher would be better for door ding protection. I checked by parking cars of family members (from a smaller sedan to a SUV) next to my truck and opening the doors to see....in every case the higher placement would "catch" more of the door edges opening into the doors of the truck. BUT there were some cases where the upper part of curved doors edges on the other vehs. would still wind up hitting the painted portion of the Ram.

The lower placement which would be the OEM style really sucks because it doesn't really do anything for protection and is mostly just for looks.

For these reasons I wound up not doing either....I figured I'd just park as far away as I can (which I've always done with my vehs) from anyone else when possible - problem is it's not always possible but for me it is about 90% of the time. But if you have to park on a daily basis in a lot, garage, etc, and can't park off by yourself, the higher placement would be what you want (yet you still might get some dings). The center height of door would be best (and is pretty much what used to be standard when it was function over style) but would look too stupid and isn't really an option.

Found that even when I parked out in left field, some jerk would park right next to me, so I started raising the truck to OR2, and deploying the running boards. So far so good

I just installed the Mopar 82215698 body side moldings for my crew cab 6'4" bed. $250 plus tax free shipping on eBay.

This video was helpful for install tips and tricks.

I used sticky post-it notes for alignment instead of masking tape. Just draw a 4mm line along the post-it or crease it at 4mm and then align to the door end and creases along the truck door. Worked great.

I washed the truck with Dawn and used isopropyl alcohol to prep the surface. I DID NOT use 3M adhesive promoter. I read somewhere that promoter is not needed when bonding to metal.

I measured like six times and installed once, took about 90 minutes since I’m terrified of misplacing them.

Here are some before and after pics. I am pleased with the results.
