Anyone have any tricks to getting this stuff off? I mean the chrome strips along the doors, I took the stuff off around the wheel wells, it was just clipped on. I think this stuff must be glued on?

It is glued on. I removed mine, but you then are left with some residue.
If I were you, I would think twice about removing the chrome on the drip rails, at least for those of us in the wet corner of the continent. I had mine off for a while, and ended up with a lot of water in the cargo compartment when I opened the rear doors.

Hmmm, if they're glued on I'm guessing a heat gun would do the trick? I took mine off the drip rail already, it was all dented and looked like crap. Surprised to see how not rusty everything was underneath. Guess I'll have to deal with wet cargo area when I open the doors because it pretty much rains here all winter and those are already gone to the dump.
I'll try the heat gun tomorrow

Well I just ripped it off, that glue was tough stuff though. I had a wire wheel on it and it still gave a pretty solid fight! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
