Default Anyone ever remove their drip molding?

my 2008 460 has the damn peeling drip molding on the passenger side. I found a wrecked 07 gs of the same color in a local wrecking yard and I was wondering how hard it is to pull off the drip molding myself. Do I need any special service tools? Don't want to damage my car lol. Thanks!

No, but remember that a car made of legos is usually held together better than modern cars... it is probably just a series of clips so I would say just pull. If you're replacing them then there's no worry if you break the old ones right... certainly pulling that piece of cheap trim, the trim is going to go before anything important under it does.

It's a whole lot of clips along the mold be careful when you remove them. Just take your time and do it slow. Even pressure and you should be good.
