98 corolla Peeling interior door trim. What to do?

In my 98 corolla the interior vinyl door trim border is all peeling on all the doors (the ones that border the door sills and frame). I see other corolla's like this too. I peeled most of it off and under neath is white and has a sticky texture. I assume in time this will get filled with dirt and other nasty collection of stuff.

What can I do to fix this or remedy this in a simple manner? What has anyone else done that also encountered this dilemma? Thanks.

Mine is peeling too. I haven't really done anything about it yet. I might just lay some vinyl over it later.

i hate it i went to a junk yard and lucky i found 1 so 3 more to go

yeah mine is peeling too... was it hard to remove / install ?

Nope not at all you can just pull them off you dont really need to remove anything i.e panels real quick fix!

yup i have that too. just make a clean cut taking off all the peeling chunks and spray paint the trim black to make it all nice and new again. this equals new looking trim and its cheap too. pics upon request.

oh man i didnt even realize.lol im so clueless these threads are years old..

corollaGT, I'd love to see those pics. did you just cover up the surrounding areas and paint inside the car?

hahaha yeah i agree mack man.

twopageafro: wait is this all inside or outside of the car. post a pic of what you guys are talking about and i'll provide a remedy of the problem. ive pretty much have done it all.lol that is, interior restoration wise.

ahhh i think i know what you guys are talking about now. ugh. i had the worst peeling. what i did was just rip it all out and put new ones in. look for some nice ones at some junkyards or a wrecked car, thats your best bet. i tried riping off the layer that was peeling but it was too much of a pain in the ass. i just left it till i found a new one. its not that hard to find them.

well thats a bummer. but dont think they are in great abundance here either. in my life time ive only seen a handfull crashed here too.lol i just know what im looking for all the time. make a list of all of the parts you need and take it with you every time you go to a junkyard.

Where I'm at, there is about a dozen wrecked 8th gens. About Half of them are so crumbled, there is nothing to really salvage.

well currently im looking for interior parts so its not too hard to actually find something. the only thing that is going to be extremly hard to find is a fender in good shape and same color as my car. damn near impossible. im considering a cluster with a tach but im not sure yet. im also gonna buy sharpshooters electric mirrors.

Wow old topic. I just peeled all the vinyl off and have it white. Matches the car now. lol

thats what i did for a while.lol but i found the S ones so i got black now haha

Either way. We both match now. lol

oh fo sho.lol hows your corolla/ search for another car? recent corolla pics?

My corolla is starting to have things break on it. Bumper mount is bad, so it rattles. Driver and rear passenger door locks are bad. Oh well. I don't care anymore. I'll drive it for a little while longer while I get used to my new job.

just went to the dealer ..(Bad idea) and they go for 60 a pop ...(goes and bangs head on wall)

Lol.

Yep, just like you.

Now its my turn.
