OK, so until recently my moldings were perfect. Last night I get to where I was going, and the front of the passenger front door's molding was hanging half off.
So, reattach, or strip the rest of them. What do you all think?

That wouldn't affect anything man. I liked mine. But they were faded and I was missing one so I just took them off. Once you do(if you do) be prepared to scrape off all the old stuff and you'll probably have to clean it up, paint it or bedline whichever. Reattaching would be easier. Go to autozone and pick up 3m double sided tape and that'll hold it together.

That's the only thing that has me worried. While I have a buddy that owns a body shop, I just don't want to start removing all the stuff to find out it has to be painted. If I remove them, I'm not bedlining anything, so it's really a choice of clean off entirely, or just leave them on.

All they really do, to me, is add some texture to the side lines of the vehicle. I do like the vehicles I see with them off, as it seems cleaner and less pasted on dodads, but I also think that even with them on mine, it looks pretty clean (or maybe because it's a white vehicle with rather great paint for having 290k miles).
