Side Trim August 29, 2007, 06:01:53 PM Ok, so I've removed my side trim, but don't know how to get the weatherstripping off. I've tried goo-b-gone, and it doesn't work. What have you guys used to get the sticky stuff off? Quote Selected
Side Trim Reply #1 – August 29, 2007, 09:41:41 PM Spray some engine degreaser on there and let it soak in for a few then the sticky should come right off. Also you could use a plastic razor blade or a bondo filler spreader. Quote Selected

Side Trim Reply #4 – August 30, 2007, 05:23:17 AM I use Aero Conquest to remove vinyl racecar graphics and a small bondo-type tool called a "little chisler". The Conquest is citric oil based but washes off with water. Any residual film will wash with a mild soap and water. It will remove oil from skin and plastic, and makes a great degreaser for dirty/sludge places like from a leaking valve cover or PS pump. It isn't corrosive like purple soaps. Quote Selected

Side Trim Reply #6 – August 30, 2007, 04:26:26 PM there was a very thin piece of stainless steel between the adhesive and molding on mine. I removed the stainless steel strip and all.If you do this,it makes the molding more flexible and it wont curl up on you,like most old molding does. Quote Selected

It's the pieces between the wheels. Quote Selected
Side Trim Reply #8 – August 31, 2007, 04:46:32 AM No joke on this one, I know it works as I've done it myself. Avon skin so soft will take it off. There's also lighter fluid that works sometimes, and rubbing alcohol sometimes works. I've had better luck with using skin so soft though. Quote Selected
