Mouldings & Trim

Mouldings & Trim: Finishing Touches That Matter

Most drivers understand what mouldings & trim do, but fewer know how they wear down and need to be replaced. These pieces provide weather sealing, noise reduction, and aesthetic appeal while protecting underlying body panels from damage. At Modern Nissan of Winston-Salem, we recognize how these seemingly minor components significantly impact your vehicle's appearance and resale value. Quality trim pieces also prevent water intrusion and reduce wind noise during highway driving.

Types and Functions of Vehicle Trim

Mouldings & trim encompass door seals, window trim, body side molding, and decorative accents throughout your vehicle. These components create weatherproof barriers while enhancing visual appeal. Models such as the Leaf and Armada feature extensive trim packages that define their distinctive styling. Trim pieces also protect paint from door dings and parking lot damage while coordinating with door sills for a cohesive appearance.

Trim Replacement and Maintenance

Most trim pieces last 7-10 years before UV exposure causes fading, cracking, or adhesive failure. Rubber seals deteriorate faster in extreme climates, allowing water and air infiltration. Damaged trim affects both appearance and functionality, potentially leading to interior water damage or increased road noise. Aftermarket trim rarely matches original specifications for fit, finish, or durability. Genuine Nissan mouldings & trim maintain factory appearance while providing proper sealing and protection for years of reliable service.
