Simple how-to: fix that crappy door trim

lol yea i had a can chillin in my truck so i figured why not try it out

 

Good job! This may be the first thing I have ever seen where plasti-dip is actually useful.

How was the actual weatherstrip part against the glass, though? Mine was all bent out and brittle, which is why I went for new ones.

 

ya know ine was still good. im sure itll be time for new ones soon but i can for sure say it was damb worth plastidipping for now. and thanks i tried pretty hrd to do a legit job

 

did this on my 99 taco the other day. it was super easy and made my truck look damn near brand new again!! got my trim pieces for 24$ a piece

 

Thanks for the write up! I bought my Taco 2 weeks ago, and when I was looking it over before I bought it, the door trim is the first thing that stood out to me as unappealing. I have lots of other things to do to this truck first, but replacing these trim pieces is on the list now!

 

You're welcome. Yeah, it is amazing how this can make such a difference to the age of the truck.

 

Sweet Im gonna do this soon.

 

thanks for the write up

+rep!

 

cool deal. whoever was talking to me ur welcome. mine is holding up fine. through a wash and all. unfortunately cant say as much for my bedlined flares =(

 

awesome write up was considering using sharpie on them, glad i didn't. I saw a few people saying they found them elsewhere on-line for cheaper then the dealership, can anyone post links to where they purchased them?

Going to do this ASAP mine look much worse then the pics posted

 

i love this place,,,mine are shot,,,thanks alot for the info bros..

 

I plasti-dipped mine. Over 2 years ago and holding up strong.
But, for $30, I would have gone OEM (if $30 is for the pair)

 

I would like to know as well. I am thinking of replacing mine soon.

 

Replaced mine yesterday, posted up some before and after pics here.

Purchased from my local Toyota dealer for $24 each.

Like scocar mentioned, it makes a huge difference in the looks of the truck. The old peeling ones were such an eye sore.

 

Especially because you are forced to look at them every damn time you use the truck. Glad you guys find this useful. It is so typical for buying a used truck of this age.

Great right up, I have been searching for those part numbers for a while. They are $20 at toyotapartsbarn.com so if one is purchasing other things to negate the $12 shipping.

2cents

 

Now only if we could get the part numbers for the 2nd gen double cabs.

 

Agreed. Mine looks horrible.

 

The dealer should be able to look it up. Thats where I got mine.
