HELP Removing Rear Splash Guards

Goonz · 05-12-2009, 07:15 PM

I noticed after recieving my new splash guards that the rear ones have this adhesive on them which is how they are so flush against the rear bumper. My question to you guys is how should I remove the ones I have without damaging the the paint and etc on my rear bumper. They seem pretty solid and show no signs of coming out lol. Maybe I should have Infiniti do it? Any tips or info? thanks!

no im replacing the drivers side ones because they got damaged with paint from the street lines being freshly painted. I had to buy a whole set though so yes I do have passengers side brand new if you want those lol

fishing line....and "floss" the tape off....then the remainding tape, use Goo-gone and it'll come off easily..make sure u have a damp towel to wipe off the goo-gone right away to avoid paint damage (if any)

yo u sure u want to remove them?! i did it last season but noticed when cruising on the highway going 100+ the car was less stable man. ended up putting them back on and it was a pain, i'd think twice about it. safety first

best of luck

fishing line to cut through the tape, then goo gone to remove the adhesive off of the bumper.

Goonz · 05-15-2009, 03:30 PM

wow ive never heard of splash guards providing aerodynamics for the car lol!

Goonz · 05-23-2009, 03:55 AM

just a heads up..I did this myself the other day, extremely simple! The double sided tape on the spash guard left no adhesive on the bumper and within 15min I had the damaged one off and the new one on! yays!
