Removing Door Bump Strips

[dan1999]

Hi

I require some help/advice for my 1999 GTI 8v

Has anyone had any experience removing the door bump strips and what were the results as I'm considering removing mine

Cheers

They are just glued on, however it might take you a while to get the glue off the bodywork.

heat them up first it helps by softening the glue, then peel them off and remove the left over with some tar remover

only problem I had when I did the ones on my old 2.0 8v was that the laquer decided to peel off as well as the glue !!!

and id imagine you're paint will look a bit different when you remove them too.

being behind plastic all its life it will probably be better than the sun hit/day to day marks and faded-ness of your paintwork

Cheers Guys

Any tips on the best way to get them off aswell as heating them, I want to leave minimal marks behind

hot water always worked best for me with stickers and badges mate

And buy some T-Cut style stuff mate, you'll probably need that to try and match the colour best you can.
