splitter removal help

capaladj · 02-23-2011, 08:30 PM

I'm trying to take the splitter off my front bumper, what is the easiest way to get it off without breaking it? it is just held on with double sided tape. Thanks in advance.

Fishing line or dental floss. Use a hair dryer to heat the areas where the tape is. Should be easy.

I use a heat gun to get the double sided tape all gummy and then slowly pry it off using just my hands. If you have plastic pry tools those will help but don't pry too hard or you can mar up the paint.

Thanks I'll try the heat gun and a credit card.
