I was about to take mine off, then after looking at the molding I noticed a nice scuff on it from from someone recently hitting it. Sometimes no matter how far out you park some a**hole with a sh*tbox will always park next to you for some strange reason. It buffed out but had that been on the door I would have been screwed. For now mine are staying on

I would take them off since it looks clean without them, but if you park your car in an area where it could get door dinged it might be better keep them on.

why does ythis keep being asked? No matter what you drive...you'll like it better without it............

I've yet to see anyone unhappy with taking it off unless you could tell it was there before...like if the car was repainted with the molding on it...

Yes, it's like a double sided tape glue adhesive.
