So I finally got the guts to take off the side mouldings today and I'm glad that I did because of all the junk that had accumulated in the tape and around them that I couldn't wash off before. I didnt take any pics while I was doing it, (I know, i forgot, sorry, they would have shown the dirt marks that I'm talking about) but i parked the car in the sun to warm it all up a bit, then i washed the areas around the mouldings. Next I applied goo-gone to the mouldings and then took some dental floss and started both ends of the mouldings and then i pulled them off. Took me less than an hour to do, as i was being overly-careful and looking at all the junk that has accumulated in my paint over the past year and half since this car has been built Gotta clay bar this thing soon! Anyways, on to the pics... (pics uploading...)
