After listening to the gf complain about the cracking door pillar covers since she got her Caliber last fall, I finally got around to doing something about it... I removed them!

Here's some pics

Those black things were on it before? It looks a lot better without them.

That's an amazing difference, Man! Makes one wonder why they even bothered to put them on, pretty crappy quality too, from the looks of the ones you removed. Good job!

what was the process you did to get them off...................and i wonder how it would look on an srt....................

[Cdnoilram]

process was:

Heat vinyl with a heat gun (hairdryer would work as well)

Start at top inside corner and peel slowly, heating as you work your way down to keep adhesive warm.

appply adhesive remover to take off remaining adhesive. I used Goof Off, but the 3M spray works wonders.

wax to protect paint. All told, took 2-3 hours, mostly to remove adhesive.


It makes a big difference in the appearance, SRT or SXT.

yeah I saw a sunburst orange sxt today without the stickers.............liked it better than with the stickers IMO...........so i may have to try this
