Gotta do it...I've had mine off for about 3 years now. It looks SO much cleaner without it.

they rarely help on door dings. most people drive taller cars than us and thier doors seem to never find thier way into the moulding. plus i never park anywhere near other cars and take all the precaucions

Pretty much.

Take a heat gun or blow dryer and heat it up a bit (you can wait for a hot day, but for those of us who's car sits outside all the time...imagine how many hot days its already seen).

Run the dental floss behind it with the heat gun, and it should unseat easier.

Grab some goo gone, or any type of adhesive remover thats safe on clear coat/paint...then wash, wax and you're set.

After I washed the car, I let it sit in the sun. I found it came off easier when wet. I just grabbed the moulding and pulled. To get the tape off I pulled it off while kinda stretching it out. Most of it peeled right off. 10 minutes per side.

I think those exhaust fumes have gotten to your head big guy, cuz isnt Sgt Bs car on the right?

Its more of a subtley for our cars, but it does look good.

I think I'll tackle it this weekend. I need to wash the car anyway, so why not.

I agree X 1000 with all the people on here. It makes the car look much cleaner. It's not too bad of a job to do as long as you don't uncover a poorly repainted driver side door (ask how I know... ) don't even think twice about it...
