Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Starting at the rear of the door, split the foam tape using a braided wire or a flat-bladed tool inserted between the molding and the sheet metal. If using a flat-bladed tool, protect the surrounding surfaces. Use care not to damage the paint.
  2. Remove the door molding (3) from the door.
  3. Clean the old adhesive from the door and the molding (if reusing) with 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner 08984 or equivalent.
