Bumper strips on door

Post by dantheram »

How are these held on? mine are scraped and want to put new ones on but not sure if its just glue?

What is the best way to take the old ones off?

Cheers

Thats how I did mine - getting the old foam glue off is a pig though.

A small scraper, a hairdryer and lots of intensive tar remover (dont use petrol - itll dull the paint)
