It's glued on, you mean the one on the doors? They are disgusting and hideous. I was able to remove mine without any problem. Heat up the molding a little and use some fishing line to pry it up a little. Then you can peel it off slowly and continue heating it as you peel. The rest of the glue you can rub away with your thumbs. If it leaves a little staining behind around the outline, hit it with some rubbing compound, buff, swirl remover, buff, wax. That should make it like new.

ACtually I see a LOT of SCs with this nastiness on them around me. I just think they totally spoil the look of the car, just never had the gusto to try and remove them until a few weeks ago, and my body guy said he'd remove them but it might rip off the paint underneath as well. I wasn't gonna pay someone to ruin my paint, I coulda done that myself if it would have in fact ruined it

Never seen them on any SC's in person, and only two online that I have looked at.

OLT, I was reading your "when was your first post" thread and so I did a search for such, and came across this. My 5th thread ever created, back after I had my hit and run and someone crunched my door. I was LOOKING FOR THESE MOLDINGS BACK THEN!!
