Hello all I have a 2001 silverado and i was thinking about removing the molding on the side to give it a cleaner look.. has anyone done that if so is it hard please help me out... thanks

 

Good question, I'd be interesting is knowing how their held on also.
Glued or with plastic rivet type fasteners?

 

The molding is actually quite easy to remove. I started on it tonight and i got one side done and two pieces on the other side done....i have a 2002 silverado 1500. they are held on by two pieces of what looks like double sided tape. and you start by pulling it off then i rubbed the tape and it came off and then use some "Scratch X" i got from walmart to buff around it and you cannot tell they were ever there.

 

Well how hard is it to start removing it what did you use.... Im not sure if I want ot get into all of it. Im thinkin thats what protects the doors and if i take it off i will end up having dents. if you take it off is it noticable at all

 

You can also start with a peice of good string or fishing line, as it won't scatch the paint. Just wind it up on your fingers like your flossing, and pull it back and forth, it will cut the sticky tape.
