Hey guys, want to know how to take off those side bumpers from my doors. I saw one guy on here who did it. Just want to know if by taking them off myself, will the paint be ripped off? I dont want to take them off and have paint come off too. Please, give me sum advice

 

you are a newbie you should talk and not search
wait a second im more retarded then u
u should search and not talk

 

you know kingrye, if i asked for a dumbass comment, i would have asked you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You wanna remove the side rubber thingys? Wouldn't it make the doors look nasty? I've never seen the moldings removed so I'm curious. Got pics?

 

sorry, dont have any. but i know there is a guy on here who has done it and it looks pretty good i cant remember his name, he had pics of them removed. i think i will do that next.

 

umm making smart comments at veteran users will definitely NOT get you the answers you want. you have just skrewed yurself up the a$$, buddy.

 

Yes it looks good...very clean looking. do a search for James1234 or something like that and Chris91SE they have pics in their sigs on how it looks.

as far as the original post. The best thing to do is search because I know James or Chris one has gone into details on how to do it.

good luck,

 

mine are gone...

 

I think it would look best to fill in the gap from where they were at. That would look great, I think. I don't like the look of having that space where they once were. It would be pretty easy to do, it would just have to be painted. I thought about doing it before I painted my car but too many people slam thier doors into mine. It's bad enough the dents I've pulled with the 'bumpers', I can't imagine what my doors would look like now had I taken them off...

 

nupe500 on here did that

Take a hair dryer or heat gun and using a plastic scraper heat the side moldings while working the scraper under them. These moldings are held on with double sticky backed tape and the heat releases the stickum. You can use a solvent (such as 3M adhesive remover) and elbow grease to get off or buy a Pneumatic Tool SMART ERASER, pinstripe and adhesive remover ($15). This is a small rubber wheel that you put in a pneumatic disk grinder tool and it erases the adhesive right off. Available in auto paint stores and such. I just chucked it into my 1000RPM drill, locked the trigger on and rubbed the adhesive right off. Painless. Followed with a cleaning with the adhesive remover.

From the originator himself.

Filling them in is fugly, IMO. I cant wait to get the door moldings off my 'new' VE 5spd...looks soooo much cleaner.

 

Oh yeah...

'Sticker Shock' is the best stuff by far to get the adhesive off. I went through about 50 different products and this stuff works really really good.

You spray it on, let it sit/soak for about 2 mins, and then the stuff comes right off with a little rubbing.

I found it at PepBoys but I'm sure it's carried many places.

 

I used that too...got it from auto zone......and be prepaired to spend a long day to do it all.....took me about 7-8 hours to get all the adhesive off but, well worth it

 

That post was a waste of space, someones trying to get there post sount up!!

And another

I say di it, I did it on my first car and it made it look WAY better!! Most of the removal advice posted prior to this post is good, just be ready to have a sore arm

Cheers
