has anyone come up with a way to cushion this door? I just replaced all the wood trim and the old piece was scratched from this and the new one already is as well.

Ideas?
 
This is what I'm referring to.

I use a no slip car Sticky Pad. Cut piece at side was just some leftover from some other use

There is a 3M clear vinyl you could cut to size. Comes in 8x11 sheets. Similar to a clear bra for a car. You could use plastidip to cover just the edge just spray and peel choose a color and use the glossifier if you want it to shine. I'm assuming you mean the gray part of the door and not the wood for the plastidip. To cover just the wood you could give the plastidip glossifier alone just a thought...it is clear.

Can I ask how difficult it was to remove all the old trim?

Any tips or tricks you discovered?

It's not that hard to do. Use a hairdryer to soften a bit and putty knife to lift it. You'll find that some of the adhesive may stay behind. Gently scrape plastic scraper and the hair dryer.

Once you do a couple pieces you'll find your way. It really refreshes the interior for not a lot of money.

I used it extensively on sport bike fairings and such. Don't see why you could not do a wet application to ensure nice fit and no bubbles. The whole center console around the shifters could use some too.

I suggest the hairdryer and a plastic trim tool and fishing line or dental floss to pry it off. The warmer you can get the plastic wood trim glue, the easier it will come off. Start at a corner get it hot and use your fingers to gently pull up to get it started. Keep heating it and continue to pulling up with consistent pressure and before you know it, it will be off.
