rip and tear style! :ripped:
but be careful unsnapping/prying on the trim if you want to keep it. all of the trim will have to come off because the vinyl is stapled and glued under the trim around the windows.

thanks for the help... i am just a little worried because i see some rust below the rear window of mine and i think i might just be opening a big can of worms! but also it has to be done no matter what ,also does anyone recommend any stripper for the paint and is it hard top strip the paint?

Paint, not vinyl...and I'm considering doing the whole car a metallic charcoal instead of the original hugger orange.
