Removing Plastic Strip along door.
« on: 07 April 2005, 15:58 »
How is it held on?

I have a mk2 8v and it has large black plastic strips along the doors, just wondering if it comes off?

Also the red strip above that (sticker) i need to remove that as i no long have red on my car, ive tried boiling water but it isnt working well, seems to get stuck under the plastic strip and doesnt come off because of this!

Help....
