I just got a new 2016 RAV4. I'm thinking about getting a body side molding to protect it from door dings. They will install it right in the Toyota dealership

I have three questions:

1. In general: Is bsm a good protection against door dings?
2. When installing it: Canbsmdamage the paint? They will only glue it, no screws or nails, right?
3. When removing it: If I want to remove it later, will this damage the door paint? I know it will be slightly off color since there was no exposure to sunlight. But everything will eventually even out I hope

I read Toyota reviews. So paint is one of the weak spots for Toyota. So I'm worried about it

Thank You

  1. Yes

  2. Depends on how long it is on there, when the glue dries out it can be hard to remove without damaging the paint (if you need to do remove them for some reason), also the paint will not match anymore as the rest of the car will fade slightly, the paint under the molding will not.
