Removed side molding

Pulled the trigger today and removed the side molding on the truck, I really thing it makes it look a lot newer. Some photos of the process.

My trim was starting to lift at the ends anyway, so that mde the decision easier, but all I did was get my fingers under there and start pulling.



Left me with a couple stips of adhesive.



Let Goo-Gone soak into them and that made rubbing them off fairly easy, but still quite time consuming.

Washed the paint and dried after getting all the adhesive off.



Can't even tell they were there!

Looks great!

I can't believe you just pulled them off the door like that I'd be scared of warping the panel. I've really gotta get mine done, maybe I just need some liquid courage

Hmmm... gets me thinking,



but it seems like mine get a lot of use so I guess they are staying on until I retire the truck.
