My cladding is falling apart!
It looks like top of cladding uses double sided tape/material to hold on to the car, one of my cladding got so dusty and the tape isn't good anymore. Where can i get some fresh ones??

I would finish pulling it off and buy some of the original snaps to put it back on.

would they have that at the local lexus repair shop?

Does Pizza Hut have pizza? Im not sure how much they are though.

lol, what about at a local auto zone or something. Closest Lexus dealer from my house is about 25 miles.. .

Just curious, is the body panel under the cladding nicely finished, or does it look like the underneath of the hood?

I agree that the lower cladding is held on by clips and double-sided adhesive, as shown in the pic below:



I don't think it's necessary to replace the cladding with a new one. It may be as simple as replacing the adhesive and/or the clips. You won't know until you actually remove the existing cladding. Your Lexus/Toyota body shop should be able to help you out.

Hey lexusk8, will he be able to just pry off the cladding from the outside or will it require him to open the interior door panels?

I wish I had seen that panel when I wanted to fix mine...ended up getting a friendly lex tech take care of it for free

lexusk8

I'm pretty sure the only way to remove the cladding is from the outside. You would remove the interior door panels if you plan on accessing the door/window switches and wirings, door lock assy and the door speakers.

I just need the adhesive. Would autozone have some?
Is there a name for the adhesive?

lexusk8

I would think that the adhesive is the same as the one used to hold the front and rear emblems on our cars. Again, the technical term for this is double-sided automotive adhesive, and 3M is one brand that carries this. You can find this at almost any auto parts store, or even Wal-mart
