The outer pillar covers are starting 2 peel on my vts. Are these hard to remove? Is the best to take them off with a heat gun? Also im thinking about keeping the vinyls off when i do remove them, what do u think? Any pics out there?

Hot air gun/hairdryer will remove them, clean off with tar remover/polish can find replacement for em on ebay i thinks (can for a 106)

i wouldnt use a hot air gun just an hair dryer peel it off slowly use tar remover then t cut then wash the pillars and rub your finger over to see if any glue left if glue is left use the tar remover again that method worked fine for me

this was asked yesterday as it happens. yeah use a hair dryer the some polish should be fine. imo it's not to my taste, they break up the doors and windows without just ruins the lines.
