Replacing Side Molding on 4th Gen 06
Anyone know how the body molding is attached to the body? Is it just clips and adhesive or are there nuts that need to be loosened from the inside of the body panel? Mine is scratched and it is actually cheaper to buy it already painted than it is to take to a body shop

There are 7 or 8 clips and one bolt which is
at the lower corder of the door covered by black plastic.
Remove the bolt and carefully pull the molding to unclip it.
How much did you get charged for molding?

It was the rear left quarter panel molding. It lists for 150.00 from my local Toyota Dealer but I got it for 50 bucks less at 1stToyotaparts.com online for $100.14.
Does the left rear quarter panel molding have a bolt?

I am not that sure about the rear part. As far as I know there is one bolt or metallic clip on the corner as well.

I found this old thread, so I'm resurrecting it rather than start a new one. My left front molding is loose in the forward section of it. The parts counter sold me some clips and warned me there was a bolt (or bolts) behind the molding also. How do I get to the nut/bolt to remove the molding to install new clips? Or is there another way I should be going about installing new clips into the front section of the molding? I saw a diagram on here, but that didn't answer my questions unfortunately. Any help would be appreciated, I'm hoping to not have to pay a body shop to do this, but I don't want to damage anything.
Thanks!

I pulled both of my fronts to have them repainted. First let me tell you it was a PITA!
It's been a while but you need to pull/remove the fender liner. That will help you to get at the back of the clips. Here are some pictures I took of the job. The last pic is labeled. And yes on the passenger side those are the clips/mount that busted off trying to remove it. Fixed them with JBL per the body shop and they seem fine now.
Edit: Just realized that you have an '06. Not sure how different the mounting is in the '04 but I'm guessing very similar.

This helps alot. Going to be removing my passenger side flare to trim it to fit a tlc80 snorkel kit. Everything seems to line up beside a little bit of the flare. Thanks for the pics for guidance.

Please post pics of the process and end result. I'm sure quite a few 4th gen owners are tired of waiting for a snorkel and considered either a Tacoma or LC80 snorkel..

New to 4Runner here, just picked up a 2003 for running to the local home improvement store
Quick question. I am tempted to repaint the plastic body panels because they all look like crap (early 2003 unpainted). From what I am reading here, it doesn't seem to be worth the effort but I did find several clips broken and some panels are not very secure. Does anyone know where I can buy the plastic clips, and also if it's possible just to replace some clips selectively without taking off the whole panel?
Thanks.

Glad to see these instructions. I am about to take apart ALL my rocker panels and wheel arch moldings and sand and paint them. I got factory spray paint and clear coat ready to go.
Can someone share any instructions on how the door rocker panels come apart? Just clips or are there any bolts? If bolts, I have to take apart the inside panel of the door to access the bolts?
Some pics would be very very helpful, thanks so much in advance.

As I'm typing this, I'm currently in the process of removing the fender flares on my 2005. Afterwards, I'll be removing the trim panels on all four doors. The two fender flares on the front are a pain in the ass to remove without breaking any clips. I happened to get a hold of the factory service manual for the 2005 model year. The trim pieces on the front doors don't seem all that hard to remove as they're held on with clips just like the fender flares. You'll have to remove the door panels to get to the clips. The trim pieces on the back doors are held on by clips as well as three rivets. Here are the PDF's. Good luck!

I broke all my clips when I removed my moulding. I removed all the broken old clips and bought a set of new clips from the Toyota dealer. I was removing the moulding to repair and paint it after it got a nasty scrape.
When reinstalling the moulding, do I put the new clips in the body and snap the moulding onto the clips, or do I put the clips in the moulding and snap it onto the body?
Thanks

This is the body trim moulding (over the right rear wheel) that I pulled off, body-filled, primered, re-painted, and clear coated.
My first attempt at paint and clear. There's a bit of orange peel as you can see in the reflection, but it looks better in-person and I can probably sand it with 3000 grit and buff and polish it. It looks 1000x time better than it did before, it had a deep 4-inch gash running vertically down it.
I used Dupli Color spray can for the base paint (3 coats) and USC 2K spray can (4 coats) for the clear top coat.
I'm ready to mount it back on my 4Runner, but just need to know if I put the clips on the moulding and snap it onto the body, or put the clips on the body and snap the moulding onto the body. Any idea?
