Re: remove body side moldings?? Mine are removed, heres a link http://lswonta.com/blazinred/imagepages/image12.htm Just remember, if someone hits ur door, it will hit the fiberglass doors instead of your molding. I have moldings i already painted ready to go on, but havent yet done it cause of thinking of changing colors...

Re: remove body side moldings?? mind are gone too. you might be careful though being that the car is black and is a few years old. just a caution.

Re: remove body side moldings?? i dont suppose just yanking them off is a good idea? fishing line...heating them up? im open to suggestions. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Re: remove body side moldings?? The best way I found was to let the car sit out in the heat for a while (not a problem here in TX right now) and then just pull. It pulled all of the tape with the molding and just left a little dirt. You can also use a heat gun as well, but I tried that on one piece and found it to be more difficult than the leave the car in the sun and pull method. It did not pull all of the tape off with the molding, which is a pain to get off. You should be able to pull it off so that you can re-use it down the road if you so desire, which is what I had planned just in case, but I got tired of looking at it so I just threw mine away.

Re: remove body side moldings?? well i went ahead and yanked mine today...much nicer and much cleaner look i must say. all the tape pretty much stayed on the car, so after 3 hours of work and 6 blisters later, it looks beatiful. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
