Side molding

I'm not finding any pictures of or posts of side molding for the doors. Audi not make any for the a6? I saw some aftermarket ones but eh. I frequent the airport and don't want to risk door dings

What door moldings are you speaking of? Those tacky looking strips that go on the door edges?

Haha probably still tacky, but no more of the side molding that goes along the body of the car, not along the door edge

I've never seen door mouldings on a modern Audi (within the last 5 or so years). Just be careful out there, and worst case spend the money you would have otherwise spent on the mouldings to fix the door ding with paintless dent repair.
