Larime Side Chrome Moulding

[KENNETHMD]

Does anyone no how to remove the chrome side moulding, My 2005 that i just picked up on Saturday has badly pitted side moulding, Dealer say's he will order new moulding but i was just interested in finding out if it is 3M tape backing or something else I really want to do the job myself, but they won't give me the part i'm sure, also how big of a job is it and how long should this take, Thank's

Yep - just adhesive tape. Warm with a hair dryer (or a heat gun, if you set it on very low - don't burn the paint). Lift up an edge (a plastic spatula, like a Bondo applicator, is useful here), and just pull as you heat. Clean off the residue with your favorite cleaner (WD-40 works for me). If you're re-applying a new molding, wipe the area down with alcohol, and make sure everything's nice-n-clean. Don't get it crooked

We took mine off with a putty knife then used an eraser wheel on the drill to get the glue off.

KENNETH, what are you planning to do with your chrome mouldings? I'm looking for some to replace my black ones. Let me know if they will be available. Thanks, John
