Before I go pay $897 for both lower door trim, does anyone know what yr they might have changed them? I have an 06 but when I put in the model number, 3W8853515E and 3W8853516E, other yrs come up. I’m not trying to pay a arm and a leg for two strip.
will the letter on the end make a difference??
Hello @TeamJones1962 ,
I have the drivers side door trim available form a 2006 door.
I have to ask, did yours just disappear, I took my GT to a hand car wash, the vehicle came out and the guys worked on it, I pulled it to the side of the building to do a more detailed drying, as I was bending over wiping the drivers door and rear quarter, I had one of those holy crap moments, I asked the manager to stop the line and let me look for them, but I wasn't allowed in, so he went looking, he came out with both pieces, I could have kissed him...lol, bit instead I gave the cash I had in my pocket, best $50 iirc to someone who cared enough to really look, and neither piece has a mark on it.
I will add that it is ridiculous that these two pieces are only held on with double sided tape, no studs and nuts, or barrel clips at each end, but instead just very weak plastic clips at each end that really only seem to guide for alignment, as the plastic nub on the clip barely stays in the hole on the door, I can only assume that because of being a hand car wash, it was the blowers the blew off the moldings, or the high pressure water that does the rocker area.
Now I just need to find some very this double sided tape to reinstall them, Bentley does not sell the tape separately, have to buy the molding they said to get the tape, really...

Yea I had to bite the bullet and buy them from Scuderia 😡 I don’t know when they came off. I just noticed them the other day but I haven’t heard ven driven the car in almost a yr! It’s actually in the shop now getting the vacuum line (s) done 😂.
Let me know what brand tape you get that’s strong enough.
Side note….what rims are those? Looking pretty good on there!
