superman Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 I think the older models where just 2 sided tape, but cant say for sure about the new models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a heat gun or park it in the sun on a hot day and carefully peel them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOLSTEIN Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 newer vehicles will come off easy by using a heat gun or hot sunlight, but if it is two yrs or older i would go to you local paint supply shop and get a 3M adhesive remover wheel.... peel the molding off and the put it on your drill and it makes the job so much easier, i would use a hand glaze and a good coat of wax or two afterwards.. tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 i've had them pulled off a couple of 05's here at work. just heat them and pull. the majority of the work is cleaning after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuelSlut Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 there is a service bulletin on them for dimples or many other issues (wavey etc.) you can choose i think of 2 or 3 diff styles to replace them with... under warranty of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crawlinss Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 i bought mine 4 weeks ago tomorrow, and the day i bought it the passenger side door moulding was hitting the fender, you couldnt even open the door without it binding. the truck had absolutely no signs of ever being wrecked or painted so i thought nothing of it. i took it off, straightened it out (as best as you can straighten warped semi-flexible plastic) put new tape on it and it was fine for about 4 hours. after this fiasco i took off the molding, notched out the damaged section (about 3/4" by 2") and put it back on there. now i need a new molding. even if it is a warranty cover they probably wont help me since i 'modded' mine. aside from a dealer where can i get one, does anyone have a part number?
