Removing tape decal between front and back door windows

I am thinking about removing the large black decals that separate the front and back door windows. Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

All you need is a heat gun and patience.

 

Here are some pics of what it looks like in other threads. Looks like it should just peel off.

Wow! This is great!!!! Thanks for helping me.

 

I like it - gives it a whole glass look with the tinted front and back windows.

 

I let each side sit towards the sun for about ten minutes to soften the vinyl then I just started pulling it off in one piece. I used some alcohol to clean up the small amount of adhesive residue left over. I would do it again.

 

Yeah, looks too much like a 2nd gen with them removed.

 

I removed them. It was a bitch to get all the dried glue off. I tried the sun, blow dryer, alcohol, panel wipe and lighter fluid. Finally got it to budge after soaking the area with Goof Off Gel. Took two hours.

I really like the new look! My truck is less than one year old, only has 6k miles and sits in my garage when not out driving. I was amazed at how dried out the decal already was. I am glad I did this sooner rather than later when it begins deteriorating.

 

Leave it in the sun or use a hair dryer, don't use a heat gun. After it's off, use 3M adhesive remover to get the residue off. I used it all the way around on my truck for the badges and old bed stickers and it works great on paint without any damage.

 

Black trucks don’t come w those.
