    Hey guys! I would like some Input on my rain guards. i was thinking about taking them off bc I really dont need them and there starting to collect dirt and green shit in the cracks. They were on when I got the truck, and now there just for looks.
    If I do take them off, which I probably will... Whats the best way to do so? There on there good! Thanks.

    Probably just double side tape thats holding them on. Wait til warm weather to allow the adhesive to be more pliable. Peel em off. Any minor residual glue, use 3m general purpose adhesive cleaner.

    I see that they are the stick on type. I would take them off with some fishing line. Rub the excess sticky tape off with your finger and finally remove the residue with some "goo gone".
