I also did this a couple weekends ago. Here is a thread I posted:

I recommend getting the 3M cleaner instead of the hair dryer, just because I know it worked for me nicely.

if its sunny, and in the 80s then just leave the car out in the sun for a little, then grab one end and just pull

do a little detailling afterwards and you'll be fine

There is no technique to this. Its simple just rip the fuckers off and wipe off the sticky s*** and you’re done.

It's funny how threads keep showing up about this brainless mod.

I did it it took me 2 hours to remove this bad glue form doors using my fingers thumbs I was bleading all over the place...this wasnt worth all this pain .Id ont recomend doing this unless you a\have no life and to much free time,And the look is the same I will post pics later

 

[jam_asian85]

wow thats weird, it only took me 2 mins to peel off, but a couple more to detail it up.

its REALLY easy, just pull SLOWLY and most of the adhesive 95-98% will come off. i learned the hard way when i ripped the first one off and took me 30 mins to get the gunk off. then took me 15 mins to do the last three doors.

LMAO. There wasn't even any glue left on em. (drive2)

A. You pulled them off way to quickly B. You should have heated it up a lil bit more than what you did.

I didn't use that 3m tape thing I used a hair dryer and my fingers.

Was your car used ? My car gave me a hard time on one door, and once I got it off I could see some obvious indents where it had been hit/pushed in.

I went to Home Depot and they didn't have the 3M adhesive remover. Where do you guys get it from?

ummmmm whats the weather like in CA ???
you dont need that adhesive remover, just peel those suckers off and get some quick detail spray.

if you have some of that adhesive leftover just get some goo gone from publix, walgreens or where ever ...

don't heat it up too much with the hair dryer if you decide to use it(braindead

Ima wait til June or so to pull mine off. The drivers side rear door moulding gets caught on the edge of the front door every once in a while, so it's kinda ripped at the leading edge.

Ouch, dude. I got blister like that once when I was installing a tonneu cover on a truck. It was the snapless kind (sorta like a ziplock bag seal).

Have you tried good ol' Goo Gone?
