can someone point me in the right direction as far as removing the rubber strips as well as the antenna (from the base)? i am looking in wrapping the entire car myself in clear bra wrap and besides the bumpers which i can handle i figured i would ask you fine folks before i did something stupid by trying to just pry them off. anyone have experience? any help would be appreciated

guys i need help to remove the rubber rails. yes i have heard of plastidip and im planning on doing the entire car with it but want the roof shiny black as well as the trunk and mirrors to match the door inserts. i chose to go the wrap route and im sticking with it because im looking for the gloss finish.

this can be done with a thing called AUTOFLEX or HALO EFX. they are grown up plastidips that look like OEM paint. they can be sanded buffed waxed resist to gas spills and are easily peeled back off. (google each one) they are meant for ENTIRE car projects and not just patches as they are a lot more than regular dip and only sell in gallons. (this makes it incomvenient for me.)

so this still leaves me with a need to know on how to pry off those rubber strips.

thanks for the heads up but i gotta correct you and let others know youre actually wrong on that info. clear wrap USED to turn yellow in its first generation. the glue would react to UV light and change chemical structure tinting it. the ones they sell today are guaranteed for life to stay 100% clear and see through...they even have a few that self heal. im not a sales rep but ive been doing my homework on them for the better part of 5 or so months in a quest to figure out what im protecting my newly bought volt with.
