Did you have any problems when you removed the side moldings?

My buddy tried doing his 00 T/A and it actually started cracking the fiberglass or whatever GM wants to call it. It started splitering and pulling off the door with the molding! He ended up sticking it back on and has given on on that idea. He is a big fan of removing em too.

I used dental floss to start it then just pulled it off with my hands.For the left over double sided tape film i got some stuff from advanced made by 3M sprayed it on and came off fairly easy. Then a nice wash, always got to wash your car after you do something to it big or small
