Been prepping my truck for paint this week and I am going to remove the rain gutter trim. Here. I assume that the trim is just glued and crimped on correct? Anyone wish they didn't remove it ? i.e. rust problems? thanks Jed ![[Linked Image]](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a169/hecubus91/DSC00943.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a169/hecubus91/DSC00945.jpg)

Mine was just some sort of chormed plastic that was pressed or glued in place. It is long gone and I just painted over it: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/WindshieldTrim/p1020605.jpg)

yank it off. Will take all of 3 seconds and another 30 to clean up any left over "goo."

it has a "butyl" type stuff holding it on .. in 5 spots I believe ..
if you pull the bottoms out with your thumbs , very carefully , you might be able to save it .. every single one I have done , is always sun fadded and brittle .
