Ok, I did my passenger side tonight and ran out of sunlight. Here are my tips. Heat is your friend. The smaller pieces on the quarter and fender came right off leaving no adhesive behind since I heated them thoroughly enough. On the doors, it took quite awhile to get the majority of the adhesive off. I used a credit card as some mentioned, and worked my way from the back to the front. After finally getting most of it off, I used WD-40 to try to get the remaining adhesive broken down, but I didn't quite get it all. I will need to go get some goo-gone to get the rest of the adhesive broken up. After that I used some spray wax and clay bar to clean off the dirt/gunk. Then some wiping/buffing with a microfiber cloth. I'll do the other side tomorrow. Sorry for the crappy cell pic.

Did mine yesterday. Easiest thing I've ever done. Got it started with fishing line, then pulled the peices right off. Used my finger to peel off the adhesive and then used windex and a microfiber towel to get the rest off. Had it out in the sun too, so that helped.

this thread sucks. If you're afraid to do anything with the car, then sell it.

Geez, ya'll have to be patient, can a man work in peace Just finished removing these annoying *** things and now I know what ya'll mean about blisters in your fingers lol. I didn't get fishing line, I just used the hair dryer, autozone rewards card, goo gone and microfiber towel. It was extremely time consuming but so worth it in the end, I'll let the pics do the talking....... (Btw, ya'll talk alot of **** )

Looks good. If you think that will leave finger blisters try reupholstering the whole interior.
