go to an automotive paint supply store they have a deal that looks like a rubber wheel that attachs to a grinder that pulls of the tape addhesive and vinyl decals but does not harm the paint. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

screw that, take the truck bad to the dealer and tell them to take it off. no sense in you buying anything if they are the ones who left it on.

after i had my wreck in my old silverado, i will never take my truck back to a dealership to have it fixed.....(hood put on wrong, paint runs, etc etc)

you guy's kill me when it comes to doing things the right way, go to the automotive paint store like i said before and see what suggestions they have for you. Thats going to be your safest bet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Like Texas T said Take it back to the dealer.Why did they put a new hood and roof on.I got hail damage on mine and went to the dent guys that did mine the 90 GMC the last storm we got.The insurance said that my hood had to be replaced on it too.The dent guy said that he could fix it and he do a damn good job.I pocketed the rest off the money for other things for my truck.

I have also used that wheel that pony was talking about to remove it on a SS Monte I use to have.It did not work very good.I Have used the Adhesive remover to take of sticker that the dealer sticks on your vehicles and it works. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />
