RobbHancock Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I want to remove the black side door bumper things...but are they glued on or bolted? I don't wanna rip it off and find out there are holes in the door...cheers guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thooooom Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 glued - use heat from a heat gun or a hair dryer to get the tar softer and easier to work with then just be gentle and slow. it does take time and effort though. i had a blister on each thumb by the time i was finished. You can buy 'sticky stuff remover' from halfords (i think) which people seem to find useful though i havent used it myself.good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbHancock Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thank god for that i'll do it tomorrow hopefully then i have some auto-glyme tar remover left over from debadging the rear so that should do most of the work (hopefully) cheers for the reply though!

Thooooom Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 yeah that will work, im pretty sure its the same stuff holding the strip down as it is the badges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamGill Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Autoglym stuff didn't work for me on strips like it did on badges that sticky stuff remover was 10 times better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky28 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 tar stuffs not to good on side strips mate did mine today took ages, i used petrol for the left over glue but peeled it off mostly first, didnt really want to use petrol though but it was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
