Ordered my Body Side Molding

Well it's on and as the thread dies off, I'd offer one small tech tip.

Thanks for the comments. I see the masking tape is called out and I guess I was thinking this would be another item with no directions when I started this. I mean non English direction like my window vents.

When pealing off the protection tape, on the back of the molding, and as the directions say, just start it, do not pull it all off.... I'd add start with the short pointy end 1st and get it off and into the long section before placing it in place. I did the opposite and on one section found the masking tape did not start or pull off the short section on the pointy end. I caught it and pulled it off with tweezers.

This is a great adder to any Fit because it's small and clean and will protect the Fit from idiots that slam the door open in tight lots.
