Hey, what is the best way to remove and re-install body side moldings? The car hack removed my drivers side two door moldings and never put them back on. So those will have to be re-installed after some touch up. The one on the drivers side front fender is starting to come off a little so I need to remove and re-install that one. Thanks!

Should have asked Marty while you were there. Jeff or Harrison probably would have fixed it (maybe?)....

I try a bit of heat and a plastic scraper and a lot of patience. Probably need to buy some trim tape to replace the exixting tape that is most likely beat. When re-installing, patience. Before you remove the long pieces take some measurements or mark with some tape so you know where to reinstall.

Fishing line and a hair dryer to saw off and then you need to remove the old tape and reapply

Thanks for the replies! I would have asked Marty and Jeff, but, I wanted them to focus on the important stuff (ie mechanicals and Eaton swap stuff) that the car hack, Jeff Arthur @ MSR Florida screwed up or neglected. He even screwed up the driver and passenger door paint so bad that he (or had someone) buffed to hell the two doors. So, it is going to need some paint correction at some point, whether I attempt it or have it done professionally-at which point I will just have the pros fix it all.
