Has anyone removed the side mouldings on your 6th gen? Was the paint underneath perfect? Blemishes? What did you use to remove them?

 

Hi Derek, below are a few links to check out until one of our Monte Member's post what they did to remove their's.
Good Luck

thanks a lot...it seems as though its as easy as removing vinyls...I'm just hoping there are no blemishes underneath...i know when I removed my red pinstripes I just used hot water and it came right off but there was a single blemish...if anything I need a few blemishes fixed for show season next year anyways just as long as there isn't anything big waiting under the moldings

 

 

thanks...yea unfortunately my parents took the garage so i park out in the driveway...the body shop around the corner from me knows me too well and would definately give me a good deal on fixing any suprises underneath...he even told me to stop by after work this morning but in 20 min i'll have been up for 56 hours with only 1 hour of sleep the other day so im going right home and taking tylenol pm to knock me out but i'll definately have him take a look before i do anything cause they've been in business for over 30 years (family run) and i swear by their work

 

...Hi Derek,
Great to read that you have a trusted bodyman in your area that will assist. Like your new `sig
Keep us updated + pic's.
Get some rest, get `up and check the MCF : ) Wish you good rest & Super Dreams : )
Peace/Out

 

Good luck with the removal..and up 56 hours with only a nap and still having to take tylenol PM..I can say I most certainly feel your pain haha

 

im going to need it since i am so energetic right now i cant even sit down lol...i love Monster lololol

if i still feel like this after i leave work in 45 min then maybe i will go to my body shop guy and see what he says...or i might even be able to call SLP themselves and see what they did as they are only 40-50 min from my house

 

Those direction you read will not work for the 6th gen Montes. They are bolted onto the car so there you have to weld and use filler on the holes left in the panels. Then repaint the door and quarter panel.

For the door I believe there is 3 bolts and on the quarter there are 2 bolts in addition to the double sided tape.

 

Are you serious, I always thought it was just double sided tape.
