Is there a special way or do you just pry it off with a screw driver or something

Alex1 · 01-25-2008, 04:04 AM

maybe there are some screws/nuts on the inside of the cab?

I believe that trim is held on with double sided foam adhesive.
If you are going to pry it off with a screwdriver, i suggest you first heat the metal surface its glued to as best you can from the inside of the truck.

Sorry for misdirection, I have not removed this molding before, just the side moldings....glad someone spoke up with experience.

Corner pieces are held on with speed nuts, inside the cab. DO NOT try to pry them, you'll break the trim or the studs for the trim...and damage the center section.

Like Jeff said, Corners and emblem are inside with speed nuts. Once those are off you can, carefully slide the long strip off.
