Repairing the Molding

Work section by section and gently pull off the old molding. Remove each line of door edge molding starting at the top and moving toward the bottom. You should then clean off any remaining adhesive. It can be helpful to reheat adhesive with a hair dryer and then use an adhesive remover that is intended for automotive use.
