has anyone taken these off? i want to paint mine and im afraid of pulling the weather strip around the window off..not sure how strong that adhesive tape is...

 

Do you mean on the outside of the window? running along the top of it?

 

yea the 2 on the front and the 2 on the rear passenger windows

 

You have to take them off very carefully. The front ones are tucked under the plastic shroud of the mirror and stuck on with something similar to 3M. We used window scrapers/knives to slowly peel it from the truck. None of the sticky stuff stayed on the truck though, it all stayed on the pieces of plastic

 

alright, ive also got a heatgun, might try that too maybe itll losen it up a little. The rear ones are stuck to the truck itself..might have to use some goo gone

i should of thought about this before i put them on over the summer haha

 

We never used a heat gun. Goo Gone did help thoguh.

 

use fishing line just like a saw, does the trick then clean up with some solvent

 

like mentioned, id suggest heat gun, fishing line (so that you dont have to worry about scratching the paint), and then Goo Gone to remove any sticky left on the truck. thats what i did when i removed my emblems and worked great

 

thanks guys, fishing line sounds like a safer idea than a knife...id be pissed if i scratched it

now did the sticky stuff come off the plastic easily?

 

I used WD40. Some A-hole peeled mine off so I had to remove it clean it and retape it to the truck.
