I took a pair off a while back, and all i can tell you is to peel it very slowly. A hair dryer or heat gun is fine, but be careful to not overheat the paint.

Check with a vinyl supply place...they sell a special liquid that removes old vinyl tape without damaging paint.

Try this place: http://www.signwarehouse.com

If you have a cordless drill, you can go to a parts supply store and get what is called an eraser wheel and use that.. Its basically a giant eraser on a pencil that you attach to a drill and that stuff will come right off and then use a spray detailer to clean the rest of it up..

every time it rains water gets into the drivers side rocker panel (http://www.partstrain.com/ShopByDepartment/Rocker_Panel). I have searched for the drain holes that everyone says get clogged up and have yet to find them. I was wondering if anyone could explain exactly where they are or send a picture showing their location. Also, is there anything that can be done to keep water from getting into there?thanks
