Just peel it off. There is this bit that fits your drill and works like an eraser to remove the gum part ( http://www.eastwoodco.com/ ). You can buy some adhesive tape to use to restick it or simply buy some new stuff at Pep Girls. It's like $25 a roll and it takes like 2 to do a truck.

If it's taped on, put some laquer thinner in a squirt bottle & soak behind the moulding (the tape) & let it set abit before removing. It'll help "soften" the adhesive. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

Use a tiger torch and melt 'er off! /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif














J/k. I used a razor to get it off, then a paint scraper to get the rest off, but that took a while /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif
