The main task of the BLIC brand Trim/Protective Strip, wing (moldings) is to protect the body panels from damage. Of course, when there is a risk of damaging the paintwork or even leaving a small dent in a parking lot or in another narrow place, the presence of moldings is an excellent solution to the problem. As a rule, they are glued on the most protruding part of the doors, on the edge, or under stamping. There are situations when moldings do not help, but even in such cases, the damage to the metal or paintwork would be even more serious without them.

Material of the wing trim strip

Today, three types of moldings are most often found in car stores: from ABS plastic (less often - with a chrome coating), rubber, or polished stainless steel. The first ones best of all cope with various mechanical damages, moreover, they can be painted in the color of the car body. Rubber pads do not "hold" the paint well, so they are most often installed on the car unpainted. Polished "stainless steel" moldings perform primarily a decorative function. When damaged, they usually lose their attractiveness and require replacement.
