So is there a way too get this sticky/foam/silicone crap off or a better way to take the trim off? I tried dental floss, a paint scraper, and a body scraper thing after searching and the below is the result (not much difference). FWIW I could care less about the paint as I will eventually repaint it. I do care about the body. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j…203_150604.jpg

Get 3M sticky tape adhesive remover.

Will that take off that capt foam and the silicone? (The Black silicone strip in the middle, is on there like a white stripe on a skunk.)

When i removed mine, i used goo-gone and a razorblade(s).
Then i discovered the existence of this:

and it worked beautifully, like a pencil eraser on steroids.
I wish i had discovered it before i fucked up my clearcoat with the razorblades.

I used a heat gun to take the trim off but the remaining stuff was totally annoying. I should have done dental floss to get it off with the trim. It took eons with goo gone/wd40/etc. So i bought that wheel and it did all of jack for me. I bought plastic razor blades on amazon.. Best creation ever, no paint damage at all.
Side question.. Anyone know how much shops charge to fill the holes on the 86?
