Remove The Chrome Trim On Bottom
Hey guys, has anyone removed the chrome trim that sits at the bottom of the doors on a 2011 C300? I think it looks stupid, but don't want to try to removed it and find out it is more of a project than just peeling them off..
Thanks all for any advice... |

Removed the strips the first day I had the car. Used dental floss.

what temperature should not be exceeded with the heat gun? my heat gun only goes 750 or 1000 degrees F and I dont want to damage the paint...
finally going to do this only because I added the black bullit style tail trims which don't mesh well with the chrome... |

Heat it up real quick and I used a credit card and came off easy. a quick buff to get all the glue off and its perfect....
Thanks all |
i just took mine off.. didn't need to heat it.. just fishing line.. 20lb test line.. used 8lb too but kept breaking.. cut the adhesive in half.. the part left on car just pulled right off and rolls up like boogers.. yeah you know.. don't act like you don't..
no residue on car.. just a quick wipe with damp cloth to clean up the outline of dirt |
those that used heat gun, is it possible to damage the paint if set too high?

Simple physics tells me yes you can melt it off your car into a puddle on the floor |
