As someone else said, search first
#13: Re: Removing Outer Door Pillars ? Author: Chris180, Location: northumberlandPosted: Sun Apr 17, 2011 11:31 am ---- I tried this earlier, my car had been sitting in the sun all morning then I still used a hair dryer to warm them up and it was an absolute nightmare getting the sticky stuff of afterwards,
So now I have 1 pillar with vinyl still on 1 with a load of sticky residue still on and some new vinyl on order

Mine never had any fitted at the factory
Then again it would be a waste of time seeing as the car is painted black
