I let mine sit in the sun and get real hot. Then it just pulled off. Didn't even need to use the heat gun and all the adhesive came off with the molding.

Just pull it right off, thats what I did. Then have fun trying to get the glue off. I tried everything and I found that just using my fingers worked best.

Just pulled mine off and then rubbed my fingers raw trying to get the glue off. But it looked great when I was done.

The pain is worth it. It will only blister for a few days.

or remove the molding and take it to a car wash and use the hot presure gun up close and it will remove the glue.
