Default Help - How do you remove the BSMs?

I need to know what is the best technique for safely removing the Body Side Moldings. Exactly how do you do it?

Do they come off cleanly without leaving a sticky residue?

Is there a release agent that can be used on the adhesive without messing up the paint finish?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Pat

If you heat them up with a hair dryer and you can use fishing leader to get behind the moulding to "saw" it off. (Some have used dental floss.) 3M makes an adhesive remover that works well for removing any glue or residue.
