I was inspired by several contributions in the famous “Stelo-pimps-his-anniversary” thread yesterday to remove the black plastic foils on the door bars. The foils prick over the height of the side panes. With my five doorr it is three foils per side. The black foils are probably supposed to form an optical contrast to the car painting. My Anniversary is black anyway and varnish looks much better for my taste than plastic. ürholme are painted anyway. Procedure: Definitely use no other tools than a hair dryer and your own fingers! First open the windows to get more room for the window rubbers. Then open the door and heat the foil from the bottom to the top with hot air. The foil is glued around the door Palatinate. I first heated the foil on the inside and over the door edge over the entire length and replaced it with the fingers. Then we closed the door and the fo 5mm from the edge of the glass and loosened from the bottom to the top over the entire length. Then I heated the upper end – the foil is also clamped in here – and slowly pulled on the foil. The adhesives dissolve with increasing heat and you can pull the foil out completely. Important: A little patience is required. The warmer the areas to be treated are, the easier the bonding is to loosen. However, I did not weigh on a hot air gun. t. The film is relatively stable and tolerates a neat, even train. However, no tearing! And lastly: the paint under the film looks like new. I once went around my car, looked at the whole car and then immediately went into the cellar to get my paint care. The contrast was simply too big! Why I removed the film? For my taste it looks cheap, at least for a black car has no optical function and is t together with the glued-on plastic model names (“Saab”, “93”, “SE”, which I have already removed in the same way, only a dirty catcher.
