I looked and tried for a couple of hours and couldn't figure out a way to get them off without damaging them, so I will be wrapping them while on the car. Good luck.

Are you going to take off the side mirrors to make it an easier job?

i think that’s the best option
had another look at them rubbers again and on my car there just isn’t any give at all! I’ve used a specific vinyl trim tucking tool and rubbers not shifting 😕

dont know what to do now
even bought the 3m 1080 scotchcal vinyl which in my opinion the best wrapping vinyl you can buy for this sort of job .

The reason I’ve been holding off in wrapping my window trim is because of the side mirror removal. We’d have to take off the door panel in order to take out the side mirror.
