Wanted to remove the strips off my car but was always curious if there were clip holes in the door panels, are these strips just held on by sticky strips on all corsa sports.

Started doing this tonight only managed to get one rear quarter one off due to rain but went well I used fishing wire to remove it then went over it briefly with a toffee/caramel wheel to take the big bits off glue off I then put some tar remover on a sponge and soaked it on to the glue and whent back over with the toffee/caramel wheel and it came off a treat with the glue soaked in tar remover. I had to do the kettle bit Jed mentioned and the paint came up fine I then gave it a quick polish and now you wouldn't even be able to tell I will add pics tomorrow once the whole car is done

auto glym tar remover and an old bank card....

also, if your left with the faded grey line in the paint once their off, use a few kettles of boiling water and pour it on in the same place, slowly moving along till they disappear. :thumbs:

Hi all I wanna remove my door strips just wanna know if people have found any easy ways of removing the glue I've had a search about and the best way I've found is to use some fishing wire to remove the strip and a toffee wheel to remove the glue just wondered if any had any other ways of doing it

Cheers
