side moldings

does anyone have a link on how to remove these. I've seen it before, but i just can't seem to find it. I think it's on someone's cardomain site.

you pull them off...its that simple. Now cleaning the old sticky off is another story. The easiest way is to just take it to a shop and pay 10-15 and get them to remove it with a drill and eraser bit. Or you can get the bit your self. Most have just taken a bumper remover spray such as sticker shock and removed them that way. I warn you though it will take a long time to do it that way.

All you do is heat up the side moldings with a blowdryer and then pull off. I got mine off in about 10 minutes. Cleaning off the adhesive is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much work. I'm going to have a bodyshop buff it out sometime tomorrow.

There's no sense getting even more blisters. Plus, I dont have a driveway or garage to do work on my car anymore. Therefore, I am getting a bodyshop to do it not because I'm lazy, but because there is no place to do it.

Does anyone have a pic of a Maxima with side moldings removed? The one on my SE's passenger side is terribly faded.

It's really becoming a common thing.. just like Subzeros and E36 headlights.

Thanks Kev, the spoiler is off a Misti. Lancer MX model that we have down here. As for the rear window visor, they dont make those anymore. Got that off a Max that was in the junkyard. I guess I was lucky
