Someone suggested i remove the side molding off my camaro. Is there a writeup on this or is it pretty straight forward. I dont want to start hacking away at the side of my car until i know what i am doing

thanks everyone

 

Use a hair dryer heat it up a little and start pulling. Then remove the glue with your thumb nail. Thats it.

 

really? thats it... haha neat. the paint and all that underneath should be good right

 

What year camaro do you have?

 

its a 99

 

Its that easy. I did it on my 99 last year with no problems.

 

scary such a big mod is so simple huh?

 

You're screwed. the 99's were not painted under the side molding, don't take it off!

 

lol, what i didn't know... ill give it a whirl in the near future

 

Its a good mod I just did it on my 02 trans am and my buddies 99 z28

 

You can use Goo-Gone to help get rid some the glue and stuff. Also you can wait for a really hot day. I just peeled mine off when it was the car was hott to the touch. Of cousre I live in So-Cal, that might help.

 

you're crazy


Just did it to my 99 z last week:

 

Maybe I should have added this:

or you could have just read my sig and put two and two together.

 

dont have any goo gone, is there anything around the house i could use instead?

 

I bought some goo gone and it helped a LITTLE BIT. I used it on one side of the car but it was taking so long I just peeled the otherside off without Goo-Gone. You don't need Goo-Gone but it would help.

 

WD-40 will also work if you have that laying around.

 

thanks for the replys got the side molding off, looks a hundred times better

 

yea i did mine on my 2000 and the last peice cam off but the double sided tape..... did not.

 

yeah the double sided tape was a bitch... none of it came off right, and i just cut my nails, so i had to heat up and roll the tape with my thumb.. it took so damn long and somehow i burned my thumb on something... big bluster but it looks a lot better

 

hahaha....welcome to the club
