On principle, I might make them PAY for AND install it.  But, if they fooked
it up once, they might fook it up again, AND some other thing.

Replacing this lower molding (I am assuming on the outside?) is easy.  But
let's verify which molding your talking about, because I have no idea why
they would bother with the door molding at all - when I did the ECU swap,
that molding was so far out of the way as to be a non-factor.  So, before I
give you a sunshiny reply on how even *I* can do it, let's see what you
mean...
