Hey All,
I'm new to this section of the forum as I used to prowl the 5.0L section, now I have had my 01 4.6 for going on two years and love it.
Anyways, I decided tonight to test the waters and try and remove the bump strips down the middle of my doors. I started with the passenger door.
I was considering just taking some dental floss and pulling it between the door and the moulding, but I just decided to pull it away gently.
It came off of the door without too much trouble, and I rolled away most of the excess adhesive tape with my thumb. Looked good in the dim lighting.
Then I took a closer look - there was two little hunks of paint missing from under the strip, down to the primer... and the most disheartening part was what I saw next -- almost the whole length of the strip, in between the two strips of adhesive tape - the paint is bubbling.
I am just about to puke because of how bad this is, and how bad it looks. Of course it looks better from 10ft, but up close is a joke.
I am out of ideas as to what to do and looking for suggestions... I may just put it back on - the drivers side is still left as is.
Has anyone else encountered problems such as this? My oh my I hate that trim.
