Hey everyone - first post here. I tried searching and found some related topics, but no answers to my question. Anyway, my dealer installed those plastic door edge guards on my car, and I think they're quite ugly and would like to remove them. I have a 2005 Civic LX. Does anyone here know how I would go about removing them? They seem as though they're glued on. Also, will I have paint damage if I remove them? I don't want to have to deal with paint issues.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

they are glued. peel em off with the aid a hair dryer to warm the glue, and then use some goo b gone or something. they are ugly.

Thanks for the info. I should be ok as far as not damaging the paint, then?

You'll be fine if the glue is heated up enough to get the guards off. You will need to do it on either a hot day or with a hairdryer/heat gun as suggested. Then use something like Goo Gone to get the remaining adhesive off, then yes, your paint will be fine.
