Ive got a 2002 Chevy blazer LS and the clear coat on the trim is coming off and really lookiong bad. this isnt the black plastic trim its the trim thats painted the same color as the blazer. Im sure they painted the blazer and then stuck the trim on, correct? I did a little searching for info on removing it but couldnt really find anything. How hard is it to remove and what should I use for removing the glue?


TIA
Ben

are you talking about removing the moldings?? if so its been covered numerous times. most people use fishing line and slide it between the body and the molding then to remove the glue you can either use your thumb or your choice of adhesive remover.
