Removing sideskirts that are glued down with epoxy

Any one have any idea on how this is done?

As we all know epoxy is strong stuff.

More than likely it is ureathane adhesive the same stuff they use to install windshields. Or a variation of the same type of adhesive. If in fact it is it is just about impossible to get them off without damaging the car and the skirts. (I have seen guys pull off moldings and trim and pull 1'' outward dents in panels). Sometimes heat from a heat gun helps. But generally all you can do is pull outward while cutting through the adhesive with a single edge razor blade. (watch your paint)
