xjsportman Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Hi all Before I go and wreck my doors and or mouldings can anyone tell me how to remove the mouldings without causing any damage. I'm sure it's perfectly simple but I'm a newbie cabbyist so best get advice first from the boffins All the laquer and paint has come off over time and they look rubbish. Plan is to remove the mouldings and respray them etc. Thanks in advance Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skittles80 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Some people use fishing wire I use a plastic spreader behind them and gently heat them up with a hot air gun or a hair dryer probley best if your a novice then store them under some thing flat to remove the old tape from the body work and mouldings I put a small tool called a toffe wheel in a drill then white spirt or thinners I call it a toffe wheel I am sure people on here have got many different names for it good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjsportman Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thanks Skittles80 So the whole things are basically glued to the doors. That's very innovative of Ford! Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjsportman Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks Skittles80, I got these off the other day and looks much better without so I may remove the rest at some point. Didn't have any problems getting them off, it was a hot day and they basically peeled away very easily, only left a small patch of glue on the door which also came off quite easily.
