I didn't want to scratch the paint with the fishing line as there is (was) a lot of dirt behind them. I used W-D 40 to remove the glue Leader_03 07-19-2005, 10:11 PM I used a small space heater to soften up the glue and pulled mine right off. Then I heated the glue a little bit and just rolled it off with my finger. motovet 07-20-2005, 02:03 PM A hair dryer or slight use of heat gun is the fastest and easiest way. They will come off with one hand that way. If you heat them up enough all the glue comes off with the molding. When I did mine I had not one bit of glue left on the truck. swatkins 07-21-2005, 06:34 PM Why did you want to take them off ? I just got a 3500 and I want to put them on ! :D HeavyChevyHD 07-21-2005, 06:55 PM I just like the sleek, clean look with them off swatkins 07-21-2005, 08:10 PM I think mine looks naked! :D That was the first thing I noticed at the dealer last night,,, NO moldings.... On my last 6 trucks I had them and they protected my doors for parking lot dings.... I was going to by some for just that reason protection... gearhead 07-21-2005, 10:35 PM I think mine looks naked! :D That was the first thing I noticed at the dealer last night,,, NO moldings....

What color are they? ssduramax 07-22-2005, 12:32 PM I think they would look ok if they went wheel well to wheel well instead of stopping at the back of the cab. swatkins 07-22-2005, 10:26 PM I agree... They would look better wheel to wheel. I really like how they stop door dings so As soon as I can find some white ones ....... :D _nar_ 07-23-2005, 12:11 AM Just use a credit card or something to pull the edge back on a 100 degree day. Grab it and pull it off. The glue even went with the molding, all I needed to do was rub my hand over where it was and get rid of the mud marks behind it. Mine were entierly full of mud... Interestingly, my window sticker said Summit white, but the back of the moldings says olympic white. Evidently these are the same. | ||
