Man don't pay for something you can do yourself in about 10 minutes. Wait till June/July to do it, leave your truck sitting out in the sun for a few hours, and that molding will come right off. If you don't want to do that, get a heat gun and heat it up before you try it. I'd recommend a can of 3m adhesive remover. Just pull up the edge, spray, and pull.

Beware, if the molding has been on there a long time, (your truck is an 03) it may pull off the clearcoat or otherwise scar the paint when it comes off. It did on mine even, but its hardly noticeable on a dark truck.

I got mine done at Buckalew Chevorlet in Conroe. I had them take off the door molding and the "Silverado"and "Chevorlet" and the "LS" tags too. They did it all for $60. It took him about 45 minutes.

get a heat gun and heat up a corner. stick your fingers under there and pull it up. slowly peel the molding off with the heat gun aimed at the 3m goop, or do like i do and just tear that crap off once you get a corner off.

rub off the goop with gasoline...polish, wax, wax done
