Heat it up with a blow dryer and peel off. You might have to use fishing line to get it started but once it is you can pull it right off. Just did mine but it is only 3 months old.

Warm day, side you are doing getting the sun. I used the wife's hair dryer and the stuff peeled right off. Go slow and most of the glue will come off with the molding.

I had it removed by the dealer upon delivery. I have the summit white and you absolutely cannot tell it was ever there. It looks so much cleaner and nicer without the moulding it is not even funny.

Did mine the day I took delivery, worked great, didn't even have to heat it up or anything. Must have been the new adheisive. I've done this before with older (1997) truck and worked fine to just warm up with hair dryer. No ill effects on paint what-so-ever! Go ahead and peel 'em off, you'll love it!!
