Here’s a step-by-step guide to replace the lower door molding on your 2009 Lexus ES350: Gather Tools and Materials: New lower door molding (part number 75735-33051-A1) Molding removal tool Rubbing alcohol or 3M paint prep Microfiber cloth Prepare the Area: Clean the area where the new molding will be installed using rubbing alcohol or 3M paint prep. This ensures good adhesion. Remove Old Molding (if applicable): Use the molding removal tool to carefully pry off any remaining clips or pieces of the old molding. Be gentle to avoid damaging the paint. Align the New Molding: Hold the new molding up to the door to ensure it aligns correctly with the existing clips and the door’s edge. Install the New Molding: Peel off the adhesive backing from the new molding. Starting from one end, press the molding onto the door, aligning it with the clips and the door edge. Make sure there are no gaps or bows. Press down firmly along the entire length of the molding to ensure it adheres well. Secure the Molding: Use a dry microfiber cloth to press down on the molding, ensuring it is securely attached. Final Check: Inspect the molding to make sure it is properly aligned and securely attached. If you prefer a visual guide, you might find this video tutorial helpful.
