removing the side strips off the doors
Monday, July 14, 2008 10:29 PM
How hard is it to remove the strips on the side of the doors? And what's all does that entail? I've googled and searched the forums, but I can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated.

yea, strip pulls right off, but the double sided tape is a b!tch. If you ain't got a heat gun, you can rub the tape off but get ready for sore thumbs.

thanks, that sounds so simple I feel dumb for asking. I work at a craft store and we have this stuff called "What A Mess" and it's wonderful, so I will do that. And thanks.

I would do the goo gone however just for the sake of the paint, at least that has been proven to not ruin or discolor the paint at all. Anything else I would be worried about it.


MAke sure you get a good coat of wax on it after your done and a claybar treatment probably would not hurt afterward either.

just use a powerful drill (no black and decker bs) and a rubber grinding wheel to get off the tabe., doesnt harm the paint.
