The Precision Beltline Molding (Outer Rear Gate WFB 1101 73) is a corrosion‑resistant exterior trim piece designed to restore and protect the beltline area of a rear gate. It secures the edge of the sheetmetal, hides minor imperfections, and provides a clean, factory‑style finish. Built for durability and long service life, this molding helps prevent water intrusion and paint damage along the gate edge while improving the vehicle's appearance. Confirm fitment for your specific year and model prior to installation.
Features:
- Confirm vehicle fitment before purchase; verify part number WFB 1101 73 for compatibility.
- Corrosion‑resistant construction protects the gate edge and paint from chips and moisture.
- Provides a factory‑style finished appearance to restore exterior trim aesthetics.
- Helps secure and align the beltline area, reducing wind noise and vibration.
- Designed for restoration and replacement applications; improves resale appearance.
- Simple installation with basic trim tools — designed for a snug, long‑lasting fit.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30-60 minutes
Instructions:
- Carefully remove the old beltline molding: pry retaining clips or remove screws, working along the length to avoid bending the molding or damaging paint.
- Clean the mounting channel and surrounding area with isopropyl alcohol; remove old adhesive, dirt, and corrosion so the new molding seats properly.
- Test-fit the new molding onto the rear gate to confirm alignment and orientation. Mark key alignment points with masking tape if needed.
- If the molding uses discrete clips, install fresh clips onto the molding or into the gate per clip spacing recommendations (typically every 4–6 inches).
- Starting at one end, align the molding with the marked points and press firmly into place, engaging clips or sliding the molding into the channel. Work along the length to avoid gaps.
- Where screws or fasteners are required, install them snugly but avoid over‑tightening to prevent deformation. If adhesive is used, follow manufacturer cure times.
- Trim any excess material squarely with a fine saw or similar tool if the molding is longer than the gate edge, and reinstall any removed trim panels.
- Inspect the full length for secure fitment, correct alignment, and consistent seating. Clean fingerprints and residue to finish.
