How to remove plastic strips on body?

Choptoppredatorswap · 08-14-2018, 04:33 PM

I'm prepping a 2006 Club Car DS for paint, but not sure how to remove plastic strips on body that seat sits on. It looks like they're glued on? Will a heat gun get them off? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you're talking the Side Trim Bumper that runs from front wheel well to rear wheel well along the bottom. The parts manual calls for 8 total for both sides Screw, #8-18 x 0.375, Hex-Head Washer. Feel behind it under the cart and you should find them.

Looking a little more I think those screws hold the aluminum channel that holds the rubber molding on. It looks like you could warm it up and pry it off with a large screw driver. The rubber is in a groove at the top and bottom.

Thanks, but it was plastic strips directly under seat. Tried heating up with hair dryer, but it was warping strips. I ended up just pulling them off with no heat. They were held on with double sided tape. Really good double sided tape!
