Anyone ever have to remove the Formula decals from the side of the door. Do i just rip them off or is there some type of secret to getting them off.DS

either use a hair dryer to heat them up and slowly remove them, or use some dental floss in a sawing action to seperate the emblems from the adhesive. then use either GooGone or 3M Adhesive Remover to remove the remaining adhesive. I've used both methods, each works well, floss is a little quiker. lol

i haven't tried the floss, but i'm sure it works great. i used a thick fishing line which did the job fine, and then i just used goof off to get the left over adhesive off, like YURVIEW said. i wouldn't probably try to get them off with the heat gun, just because it doesnt really do anything for the adhesive underneath, it just gets to the edges
