rubber moldings
searched, but i guess not well enough. saw some guys with the molding removed on their cars. is there any special way or taking it off? or just use a screw driver etc.
one piece of mine already came off
so i'm thinking about just taking it all off. also, what cleaners do you guys use to get the old adhesive off?

Go ahead and use a screwdriver if you want to scratch the paint. Even if your careful your bound to get a few knicks. There is a cleaner that I believe Home Depot has called Goo Gone. It's just an adhesive remover abut it works very well.

I gave up and got some 3M foam tape to put it back on. Just not worth the effort involved in my opinion. I tried everything under the sun, including a heat gun. Nothing could touch that stuff...

agreed, the car looks fine with the trim... but since i already have one off, i am thinking i would take them all off.
also i think it looks cleaner without them.

If you decide to put it back on, make sure you use the THINNEST available tape, otherwise the gap between the molding and body will be too big and it will gradually start coming off.
