These cars look SO much better with the moldings off. When I got my V-6 Bird, I took the moldings off the next day. When I got my WS6, they come off in the first week! Great looking car made better with a simple free mod!

I soaked them in bug and tar remover and used a very fine string to essentially saw them off and it still happened even tried the hair dryer that side was the only one that it happened too.

That Blows man! I've tried the bug/tar remover but it never helped much, wouldn't penetrate thru the glue. Well, maybe I've just been lucky with my 04 TrailBlazer, 99 Silverado, Friends 97 Tahoe, 02 'Bird and 00 WS6...I hope the next one I do doesn't f**k up!!
