I'm sure someone from the philippines posted pics of their car that didn't come with rocker mouldings. It was also missing the plastic trays next to the rocker mouldings. I've torn a few rocker mouldings off that were hanging down. Some drivers kick snow off them and eventually the 2 sided tape lets got and they pack with dirt and ice. They're held on with thin 2 sided tape along the top edge, a few philips screws and a few plastic clips. Removing them will leave a bunch of nice holes in the rockers.
