side molding delete tips

I have been wanting to remove the side moldings on my 05 silverado for some time. I'd like to see if anyone has tips on removal. Do I just get under the edge and start pulling? Are they just glued on like the f-bodys? Does it help to do this while the sun has warmed the vehicle up? TIA for any input.

not sure but IF it just glued on like an fbody then you just get under and start pulling upwards...this will bring the glue off with the molding..i just came in from doin mine actually and it took me about 15 minutes per side...but this is my second Trans Am i did this too...so i knew what to expect

Grab some dental floss, and run it behind the molding.

Then get some Goo Gone or some type of adhesive remover and get whatever residue is left.

Then wash and wax.

Thanks for the help. I think I'll give it a try this weekend.

when i did mine, i heated up the molding with a hair dryer before peeling it off with the dental floss.

I really want to do this to my car, but will the paint be faded on a 1994???? And under the trim the paint be a different color?

Thanks

I just got in from doing mine and the paint is really different from under the molding. I'm gunna work on doing what I can to make it appear blended tomorrow, but if nothing helps, I'll end up putting the molding back on.
