I never like the BSM, however its a clean car... I guess you live somewhere in the AZ or NV.

Forgive my ignorance but unsure how to remove the side molding. Was it an option on the original purchase?
I'm assuming everyone is speaking of the line mid-door. Never paid it much attention and frankly it won't stop many door dings since I lowered it with the springs.

I appreciate the response but would like a bit more information before I put a heat gun up against a car I just spent six hours detailing. Probably going to be a ton of residue and possible discoloration involved too. Unsure how much I want to remove the molding if this is the case. Frankly I never noticed it much prior to posting this. Seems to be a big deal to many on this site and I can appreciate that but unless this is a quick fix I'm just not that willing to get involved in a possible repaint.
Has anyone done this on a ten year old car?

They should be relatively easy to remove. Just heat it up slightly, but don't hold the gun in one spot to burn the paint. Just enough to get it pliable. Then start peeling, fishing line or dental floss helps. Some elbow grease with some goo-gone or goof-off to remove the adhesive, and some more elbow grease and compound to polish it up!

MUCH better without the side moulding. But the shine from the wheels makes the car!
