Guys, I just did my door handles and mirrors. Not side moldings.
The handles were a bit of a b***h, but kind of fun. If you can get or have a "chilton" like manual for your car, Id recommend one while you do it.
First unscrew the scews holding the inside handle(s), the get off the window crank. (if you have power anything, sorry, I cant help you. I did it with manual stuff. (mirrors etc...)
the inside door panel has to come off. Then slice back the inside plastic AT THE SEAL, so you can re-attach. dont just cut holes. once thats cut back, you see connecting rods and s**t. you'll see retaining screws to remove, then unscrew or pop off the handle. I wish I could say: "and its that easy!" cause its not, it takes a bit of time, and Im in a bit of a hurry. let me know if you need more. Just start taking stuff apart from the manual, and keep your eyes peeled for whats next. I did the whole thing myself. Just try it, and dont break anything. Im sorry if I wasnt a huge help. I just gotta go.
