Anyone install DUB chrome handles/window moldings?

hop2000 · 04-08-2007, 08:25 AM

I was wondering if anyone installed the DUB chrome door handles and/or the window moldings? How hard was the install? Does anyone know of a DIY for them? Thinking about getting these but not sure how difficult it will be to install them.

i have installed them on my magnum. you have to take the door panels off to do both. not that hard but tedious work.

I just installed the door trim on my ride to replace the rotting stock ones. I did paint them trim black before the install.
To remove the door panels you need to push in the center of the plastics tabs slightly, then you can remove the tabs, unscrew a few screws and remove the panel. There is a plastic clip on the small rod from the door handle that needs to be twisted to release it and wire connectors for the speakers and switches.
I did all four of mine after work one night, took a couple hours...

I have done the lower window trim chrome on my car. The DUB ones are designed to be used with the upper trim that continues the chrome on the other 3 sides of the windows (upper and sides). The two parts (lower + upper/sides) interlock in the front near the mirrors, and the front most bolt is part of the upper trim. This makes it difficult to install just the lower trim (seeing as you would only have 1 bolt now). I had to modify the trim and use a different form of mounting rather than the stock torx bolts. If you plan on doing the moulding the whole way around the window, it is quite simple. But if you only want the lower trim, I would suggest NOT the DUB trim, but the stock one from the 300's. This trim I would assume would use all factory bolts, considering there is no upper and side chrome trim. Too bad I didn't think of that before i cut mine all up!!

Thanks for the idea!

Strange comments about the DUB, as I believe the ones I have were/are DUB and I didn't have any issues with installing ONLY the lowers?

Mine are also DUB pieces and no issues.....other than the plastic tip on the front door moulding is slightly different so I reused the stock tip, it just slides on.
