ok i decided to go on my idea of pulling the siding/molding/whatever that was nasty looking and crusty lol. Well long story short, it didnt work out too well. I have tried goof off, goo gone, goo be gone, wd40, soap and water, and even a tool to scrape with(nothing too abrasive, its a plastic tool used to scraped eurathane off car windows/ it resembles the tool that comes with the pack of goo gone) but anyways, its not soft and sticky like it looks, its hard and crusty, and if i try to pick it off with my fingernail or that tool it pulls paint off half the time. I'm lost and dont know what to do.
I was thinking about just having it linexed/bedline it myself or just buying some new molding to go over it
so post up lol im open to any ideas you got cause i have none lol

 

There is some stuff made by 3M that everyone whose done that swears by.

 

Try warming the glue up with a warm air heater or borrow the other halfs hair dryer, that should then make it soft and pliable and easy to remove.

 

tried that, did good on the few places where there was double sided tape, but just made the gunky hard places hot lol

 

X2

 

they make whats called an eraser i think.... its a wheel you chuck in a drill and it takes it off.... i assume your refering to the hard foam lookin junk thats really not foam left behind when you remove old plastic moldings and trim

 

ohh yeah and forgot pics :P

 

^^^ that eraser thing will take care of that i saw it on an episode of TRUCKS! i believe its made by 3M but not certain

 

well there is some of that too, but this is literally hard as a rock and consists of most of what you see, and believe it or not that is AFTER i tried the removers and heat, but as you see one side came cleaner than the other because it looks like the previous owner may have put them on with some sort of adhesive maybe

 

got a link? that sounds pretty useful

 

Ya the eraser thingie that will take it off. See your local body shop supply house. They have it.

 

but will it pull the paint off? it seemed to want to pull off with the hard gunky stuff, and alot of it is that gunky stuff

 

mr clean magic eraser

 

You have to be careful. Talk to the supply house or your local body man.

sweat 2dr.

 

lol you sure bout that? i thought that had bleach in it
