Tape Removal on center pillar - Toyota Yaris Forums

raeaela · 05-19-2009, 04:08 AM

Hey has anyone removed the black tape on the center pillar between the doors (exterior)?

We did it to my bf's accord and it looks great. He has silver lining his windows though and i dont.
I'd like to see what it will look like on a yaris sedan before i do it tomorrow.

Anyone got pics?

use some bubble gum remover in a can...it's liquid nitrogen and u can find it where u get janitorial supplies. you will need to provide your license and id, and maybe even pay with credit or check...but it works wonders.

you can also use it to break metal stuff...freeze it n hit it...shatters like glass.

Just so you know, the tape is to keep the paint color from "peeking through" the gap. I'm not sure if removing it would look so good, but hey, it's your car.

I'd probably just pick enough of a corner with a fingernail then peel very slowly to remove. I wouldn't try any solvents unless I absolutely had to.
