The best thing to use is some Goo Gone and some elboew...errrr thumb grease

I had a blister on each one before I was done

That is a pain to get off for sure.

Good luck

If you had pulled the molding up toward the sky and back there would have been barely any glue left behid from the molding - for anyone thinking about taking the molding off.

ya man pull the moulding towards the sky and go slow there was not hardly anything left on mine. Did it last week took about 10 minutes was super super easy. The glue that was left wiped off with my thumb. Dont use clay bar one this that is not what is was intended for . You may need to wax where the moulding were to get rid of anything left behind..By the way I think it looks way better wish I would have done it sooner.

One of the best mods IMO.

I used me thumb to get it off on a hot day. The stuff rolled right off.
