I got the car with this awful trim on it. I would like to remove it as soon as possible.
Any suggestions for doing this painlessly? This is the car at its PO's place before I got it: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1175.photobucket.com-11429-1337315482.1.jpg) This is how it currently sits: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1175.photobucket.com-11429-1337315482.2.jpg) |

I had a 1974 Mazda RX4 with the same trim. If it was mounted correctly there will be rivets holding the end tips in the aluminum channel molding. The Urethane insert comes out pretty easily but the Channel is usually riveted on both ends and then the long one will have it every 12" or so.
I also worked at a place for over a year selling this stuff. Installers used to buy this stuff in bulk and just drive around to dealerships installing them for maybe 20 to 50 a car depending on how much molding per car. Real easy to install as you only need a small drill, rivets, masking tape to hold in place and the insert. |
