What are body side protection mouldings?

Body side moldings attach to the side of a car and provide impact protection. The moldings attach at the right height to protect the car's body from nicks, scratches or dings resulting from opening car doors, shopping carts and other common sources of body damage.

Car body side moldings provide cost-effective protection and a more finished look to a vehicle. The quality of side moldings varies, so it is a good idea to apply or upgrade to moldings that are of high quality to gain the best degree of protection. Moldings are typically available in chrome, chrome lining or painted to match the color of the car.
