HOW TO: Remove the vinyl between the 2 side windows! (with pics)
Tools you will need (if you want you can use tweezers to help get the vinyl out of the creeks)
You should start to pick up the vinyl with the razor blade but be so gentle so u dont scratch your whip (car) then slowly start to pull on it with a slow tough pull. You will have something that looks like this you will notice that the vinyl wraps around inside the door jams.
As you keep going you will notice that the vinyl is all the way in the weather stripping this is the hard part because u have to use the end of ur razor to peel it. But do this very gently we dont want scratches. as you keep going it should look like this
Keep peeling it off then you will get to the bottom which is tricky to get the vinyl out because its inside the door jam. The best way to do this is make sure u have vinyl that isnt ripped off that you can use to pull on so you dont have to worry about not being able to grab it (using tweezers will help here)
With all the vinyl off then u should spray some goo gone on the paint now and let it set for 45 seconds and then take a paper towel and take all that goo gone and she should look like this.
Hopefully this how to helped you out your fingers will most likely hurt when ur done but i love the way it looks if its not ur cup o tea then kool. Me and CSS.NET are not responsible for you scratching your car. REMEMBER GO LIGHT WITH THAT RAZOR!

Wow, I have no clue why you guys would like that.
The black is on there to keep the flow of the windows and the body line. you just ruined the side view IMO.

it ruins nothing
what ruins it is when it starts bubbbling and peeling on its own....
it looks 100 percent better imo and it beats the fact that i dont have cheap pointless vinyl on my doors.
also, if you end up needing to rip of the pain in ass lil pieces that are left behind on the bottom, there is a bolt you can loosen from inside the door, the liner comes right off practically so you can ensure you get all the vinyl off that was hard to get to at the bottom

Addition to HOW-TO:
Roll window down and pull window run (rubber piece) out of the way. (it is also wrapped in behind that)
Then take the phillips screw that holds the Belt moulding out (just inside door jamb -on door) and pull the moulding up out of your way to get the vinyl that is left behind it.
