Side mouldings on a 99 sunfire

Does anyone know off hand if the mouldings on a sunfire are just stuck on there or are there holes behind them which will need to be filled?

There are holes on the GT. Not on the SE.

95-02 Sunfire GT has plugs holding on the skirts and door skins with corresponding holes in the body. All 03+ Sunfire coupes have holes as well.

95-02 SE's and all sedans have stuck-on trim just like the Cavaliers so it can be easily removed.

the adhesive was pretty darn rough to get off. I only had time to do the driver side today. Plus my thumbs need a break from all that rolling of the sticky tape...but it is def. worth it

I finally finished the passenger side of the car today. I used the goo gone after all the thick crap was off the car, just to get the sticky stuff off the car. I tried to use the goo gone on the stick parts but it wasn't doing anything. i plan on posting pics in the photos and media section if the weather holds out. I need to wait for my friend to bring down his camera.

nothing helps a whole bunch... just have to cowboy up and take the blisters. its worth it after your thumbs heal. nothing wrong with giving a little blood for the good of the car.
