My first post

This is off an '04. Front point, 9 1/4" from the bottom of the door to the bottom of the moulding. Rear point, 5 1/4" from the body seam at the rear of the door to the bottom of the moulding. The rear of the molding has a curve to it. I took the measurement approx 3/4" from the end of the molding.

3/8" from the front edge of the door for the start point.

If I had thought of it, I'd have measured them on my car before I removed them for you Patrick. It was nice to meet you and the family members. Thanks again.

I scanned the following three parts from my shop manuals for the '99 model year. Should be the same (I hope). Not sure why the pictures came out with different enlargement sizes, but they should get you the info you want anyway.

HTH.

There have been several posts asking to purchase BSM's or how to measure for putting some on. About 50% want them (like myself) and I don't remember what % didn't want them. I think it was around 50 though.
