Default Door ding stopper things . . . ? ? ?

Does anyone have pics or know of someone who has taken off the long rubber door ding stopper things ? I'm trying to get my formula to look plain. Any help would be much appreciated.

There have been a couple of guys on this board that have done it and also on the other board. I tried searching for some pics but the search function is not working so hopefully someone will post their pic. Personally I like the stoppers on the car then removed just my own opinion!

Thanks again fellas. Door molding sounds a lot better than ding stopper things. My wife made me say that . I took the molding off and I think it looks a lot cleaner or more smooth.

Took off the door moldings on my TA about a month ago. Just used paint thinner/mineral spirits. Using a small brush applied the mineral spirits to the top edge of the molding. Starting at the front used a wooden wedge to start removing the molding. Then just grabbed it and pulled while at the same time applying more paint thinner. Just went slowly and they came right off. Cleaned the area and then rewaxed.
