Re: side trim removal

[Jan Folkson <jfolkson@optonline.net>]

I haven't done this particular mod but...  To get the foam and glue crap off
the inside of my hood, I used 3M adhesive remover and a plastic 2.5" putty
knife.  It worked great and didn't harm the paint.  This was, however,
original paint.

HTH.
