In Islam, people can't see angels unless they are made manifest to them in their true form (winged form), or if they come in a "human" form (and others can see them).
Being that that is the case - if they did molt, we wouldn't see it. However, the question being asked is odd - why do you concern yourself with that which will neither benefit you, nor benefit others after you, and which others before you lived perfectly fine without having to know?

Not all angels have wings. This is an assumption based on the fact that they travel through the heavens faster than light and they defy the Law of Gravity -you know, that thing that no one can see but believe in anyway? If you read in the Bible of the encounters between angels and humans, the majority of the time the humans describe the angels as resembling men -only they shone brightly and wore dazzling white robes, but not always. There is very rarely any mention of wings.There are many different types and ranks of angels, both in the army of God and in the army of Satan.Angels make an exciting and very interesting topic of study.

The most common image on an angel is essentially a human being with wings. This is not Biblical. The Bible often presents angels as appearing as human beings. However, this does not indicate that angels in their essence resemble human being. Further, the Bible vary rarely describes angels as having wings. However, there are definitely two types of angels mentioned in the Bible that have wings: (1) Cherubim (Exodus 25:20; Ezekiel 10), (2) Seraphim (Isaiah 6). Cherubim and Seraphim are two types of angels, possibly the two highest orders of angels. So, this much is clear, some angels do have wings.
The Bible tells us that angels are spirit beings (Hebrews 1:14). The descriptions of the cherubim in Ezekiel chapter 10 and the seraphim in Isaiah chapter 6 are highly unusual. It is clear that Ezekiel and Isaiah were having trouble accurately describing the amazing visions they saw of Heaven and the angels. As spirit beings, it is unclear as to why the angels would require wings. A spirit being does not need wings in order to fly. The angels are not bound by the laws of the physical universe. So, do angels have wings? Yes, some angels do have wings. However, we should not limit what the angels can or cannot do based on our limited understanding of the wings angels possess as described in the Bible.

You know how some birds have different plumage in the summer than in the winter? I wonder if it's like that for angels, too. Like when they're hanging out on the beach in a hot climate, they have dark-colored feathers, but when they have to fly up north, they get white feathers for camouflage. Is there ever an open season for angels? Do you get a prize for bagging the one with the largest wingspan?

I doubt it. Angels are spirit. They are not made of physical materials like birds are. So I believe angels wouldn't molt, grow, or die.

Who said anything about wings with feathers? No, I would think not.

As angels are non-corporeal, they logically wouldn't need to molt.
