body colored b-pillar mod

anyone have directions to that? Do you just take something sharp and start scraping away? And also, is there no purpose for that tape at all, like it won't leak if it isn't there or anything like that? Any help would be great...car is pebble beige.

yea just start peeling i did it on my pebble beige and it looks good, do it on a hot sunny day when the sun is shining on the car and it will help ease the removal.

i used a heat gun and it worked really well (a lot better than the alternative, a hair dryer). make sure when you do it you heat a huge section at once. otherwise, it'll come off in small, annoying chunks. additionally, good luck on getting all of it on the bottom where it starts underneath the trim. i still can't get it all out. nonetheless, it looks good!

take a razor blade and cut a line down the back of the vinyl. Peel from the inside of the doorto the front and it will peel right off. do it during a hot day
