Best way to remove pillar vinyl ?

[16v Nova Kev]

Ive been on a major vinyl removal mission recently.... The best way is to use a heatgun to warm the vinyl and a plastic filler spreader card to scrape the hot vinyl off otherwise your fingers will get rather sore! Then use a solvent degreaser/panel wipe to remove any glue and residue. Done carefully you wont even mark the paintwork.

It took me nearly a week to get the tailgate vinyl off my GSi, my fingers were cooked & sore. Its the only way.

As for applying it, pretty sure you can spray a weak soap solution onto the panel, move the sticker into place & then squeegee out the moisture. So long as it doesnt slip it should dry stuck in place. Or apply it to the grooves in the panel & work outwards, again warm it slightly to make it easier to work with, peel the backing off on one edge & only peel the rest away when you have the 1st edge in place & stuck down.

heatgun and sore fingers is the way

The best way is to remove the windows, there is some of the vinyl behind the rubbers.

Then warm it up with either a heatgun or a hairdryer.

Thats how i did mine, no problems.

thats what i did, a stanley blade helps
