Side moldings. Ditch them or keep them.
Should I keep my side moldings? I have some damage to then on the passenger side, theyre faded, kind of ugly. and I can't decide. Any input would help, thanks.

No one can really answer that for you. It all depends what you like better. Any answer that you will get would be just what they like better.

I think I'm just going to take them off. I just like opinions. What's the best way to get the double sided tape off without getting the eraser thing?

Temp fix but heat gun brings the "new" look back, do it to mine doesn't take too long to do & lasts a decent amount of time in between hearings 8-)

Keep them, they break up the body and give it a nice line, Im trying to find molding for my passenger door, mine is black with a red center stripe on my 94 xj... ive looked online and cant find it.

They protect your door quite a bit, so they do serve a good purpose. Besides that, I think the big, boxy body of our XJ's looks better when broken up by the side moldings. I took mine off and PROMPTLY put them back on as it looked HIDEOUS without them. Just my opinion though.

I took em off on my 97, tried a low temp heat gun for melting plastic onto RC airplane wings and "goo gone" neither really worked. Simple green, a rag and a blistered finger. Took me 2 hours... before and after! I like it, but I also like the older body styles over the new ones. They're too bubbly haha, look at the mirrors!
