mom saw this and decided that's my saturday project. she's 85 and drives a 2015 Laramie. she says it makes a really good noise and she likes to look down on BMW drivers.

[@robnelson9101]

The factory put vinyl on my truck to cover up a paint imperfection they decided not to fix. I took the vinyl off and was 3 for 3 looking good. The 4th had a spot about 2 inches diameter, rough sanding marks that would require a repaint to fix. I put new vinyl back on. They went so far as to fill the scratches with extra glue to fill the scratches. So beware you may be uncovering a mess.

[@ironshellhead]

I've been meaning to do this for a while now. My strips look like trash, so thanks for another great tip!

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Thanks Mike!

[@m.fheagle3286]

With a silver truck and tinted windows I think the black vinyl looks better for now, it’s a block of black including both windows.

[@wolfman72495]

I used to use 3m brake cleaner when I removed vinyl numbers off of semi trucks. Cleaned up the surrounding area really nicely. Broke down any and all road grime that was present, but to each his own🤷🏼‍♂️

[@stevenguzel7605]

I was going to carbon fiber wrap mine along with a few other accents to go with it. But good to know this. I just got a 2021 this past summer.

[@willmatic84]

It looks cleaner that way I love lil details makes the whole vehicle clean

[@TemperTemper...]

Thanks for the info. My 2017 still looks good but I now know what to do if it goes to seed.

[@neilchilders5442]

Way ahead of you. I did It the 2nd day i had my truck.

[@adwhite804]

That " buff wheel" is often used to remove sticker on cars without scuffing paint. Also works great on adhesive as you did.. Had a guy say he's used one of those wheels on headlights to remove oxidization.. I've not tried that. But he said it works...at least in the short term

[@alienxyt]

My 2016 vinyl has had waves in it since I drove it off the lot. I never knew there was anything I could do about it. Great video!

[@BoostedMotorsports]

💪

[@mylt1z28]

Did this and debadged my 15 1500 the 3rd day I owned it. Used a heat gun and had very little glue residue left on the paint. Truck looked so much better after it was removed. My vinyl was still like new but it had to go, that deep cherry red just looks too good to be covered up with 50 cents worth of vinyl.

[@bikecop142]

Thank you.... funny I actually have a 2016 RAM 2500 diesel and the black is really starting to bubble and looks horrible. I didn't know what to do until your video popped up!

[@texasfan8892]

My truck is 4 years old now and the window strips still look new. Still, I might be tempted to do this. My only knock against the look is that you now have that piece of window trim running all the way through and, at least to me, it stands out a bit too much. If the trim was broken up and ran only the length of each window and there was nothing in the b-pillar, it would look much better.

[@Error404v22]

I removed all badges and the vinyl while back. Truck looks clean without all that extra crap on it. Red with tinted windows, chrome bumpers and a big flush mounted bug deflector.

[@RobbieDaniel]

One of the best underrated mods for our trucks. Made my RAM look so much better, thanks to the older video of this you posted!

[@fused_scratcher8566]

It’s called an eraser wheel, good for de-badging or pinstripe removal

[@MetalWind]

I remember using these eraser wheels in the auto body class I took .

[@jeffshultz3883]

Will it make swirl marks?

[@fused_scratcher8566]

Of course, you have to whip it down with a compound

[@bigjay6743]

I kind of like the look with the vinyl better but to each their own. They do have aftermarket pieces to put on there. My Laramie had the chrome package so that's what I put on the pillars I like the look but like I said to each their own...

[@Robert-wq1sz]

I like the look of the vinyl. My truck is 10 years old and the vinyl looks the same as when it was new. Not sure how you managed to mess yours up so bad.

[@SeanTemple68]

I don't believe "he" messed anything up at all, it's the effects of the sun out here in the west. I live in Arizona and my vinyl is jacked up. See the palm tree in the background of the video?

[@mmitchell3540]

FYI…the link for the rubber wheel does not take you to a site to purchase it. Love your videos!

[@robtodd8829]

Did this to my 2013 after I watched your first video. Looked so much better after.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Heck yeah 💪

[@joshharmon4867]

Your videos are a God send.

[@bobB24-_..]

Awe... I was all happy at first. Finally, I was waiting for this kinda video. Cause mine don't look good. But at the end, you didn't put new one on.... I was wondering where I could get änother sticker..

[@alvinstreicker4579]

Great tip. The vonyl on my truck is sarting to come apart. Thanks.

[@notsammiguel8417]

Can you also do this on the rear sliding window as well?

[@camodrums]

I used a hairdryer--worked perfectly.

[@NicholasTinen]

Thank you, mine looks like shit and I was trying to figure out how to fix it. Will be removing it soon.

[@kylegibson326]

I have the same color truck and removed mine, but I wrapped mine with gloss black vinyl wrap.

[@keithpfrang2114]

This is truly a matter of personal preference. I have a 2017 and a 2019 gen 5 sitting in my driveway. Both crew cabs, both Delmonico Red. Can’t imagine I’d be happy without the blacked out posts. If the film on either started to fail I’d have the posts painted matte black.

[@BenRoussel1]

Agree with you. I prefer the look that the black posts creates on my red Warlock.

[@Burgslions4life]

They sell a metal replacement piece I installed it love it and no more wrinkles

[@timc8913]

Awesome tip that will help a lot of Ram owners. Thks 👍🏼

[@chadsmith9031]

Bug and tar remover also works great for removing adhesive. Use it on dealership badges

[@autoguydiy4244]

Agreed. The truck looks better without vinyl strip's. Did same on my 4th gen

For sure! 💪🤘

I did this on my 2013 and the I scotch brited the surfaces taped off the line on top and removed the weather stripping on the inside taped the piller and put three coats of satin finish Trim Black from SEM looked awesome till I traded in on my 2018 this one is Delmonico Red pearl so when they do it on this one I am just going to peel them off and leave them body color it's the limited tungsten edition so it has the tungsten "chrome" so it should look Great with the pieces removed 👍👌✌️

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Pretty cool stuff! Thanks for a great video, even if it was a bit short.

[@terrysailors2736]

Did it to my 16 big horn passenger side super easy the driver took for ever and messed up my clear coat. The build up of adhesive was ridiculous other side none

Looking today at removing the driver side is rippling, but the curbside is good probably the assembly guy had a bad day on that side. LOL

[@henryg683]

Awesome as usual!!!!

Thanks Henry!

[@lesfaust9634]

I just put some plastic restorer on that vinyl.And it came back like brand new

[@artizan18887]

Hello! What about quad cab? I think passenger windows may look too small with vinyl removed, or what do you think? Remove on quad too?

[@vernlochtefeld1626]

Mines a 14 and I was thinking of putting new vinyl strips on. 🤷‍♂️

[@wannabeangler]

I wonder if the same applies to other Gens and in particular to the area above the sliding rear window. Cool video too.

[@donaldgunnell1073]

Dude you have some awesome machines.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Hey, thanks!

[@JohnSmith-qc1pb]

I did that to my truck and it looks much better!!

Sharp color on your truck. Lots alot better with them black stripes removed.

[@johnargumaniz9179]

Can someone please explain why TF ram decided to do that vinyl sticker thing in the first place?

[@robertwebber2107]

Use baby oil on sticky adhesives. I am pretty sure motor oil would work as well. Trust me it is very easy to remove

[@SwampFeet678]

How do you NOT have a 5th gen yet?.... Or a 2500 to haul around those beautiful machines? I wish you were a millionaire so I could live vicariously through your Mopar life.

[@thedd13ram]

Maybe because the 5th gen is hideous. Looks way too similar to a 3rd gen Tacoma and the new Ranger. 4th gen is the best

[@boggsd4067]

I'm thinking getting one 18 Ram same color , how do you like that truck ? Anything I should look out for?

[@chainsawcanuck]

Is you're next tip gonna be ice cream goes in the freezer?

[@AJsHotRodsNrepairs]

That's blackout tape factory puts on the appliques. Roll you windows down, pull out the window guide cause tape goes behind there, use a heat gun to soften glue and tape, use thinner in a rag and wipe residue off. That's way quicker than a eraser wheel and whatever the hell goop stuff is. Trust me I do it all the time on all makes and models in bodyshop when there's a collision repair where you need to r+r that shit

[@jacoblami1731]

Strange. Mine came without it. Is this an option?

[@paulk6993]

This is nice but the bulging window belt trim on all rams suck. Even he has it on his truck. I wonder if some type of double sided tape would correct that.

[@travisf7849]

Yep mine is cracking and peeling also.

[@Sebastian_Dinwiddie]

Dark coloured paint job, Black Forest Green Pearl, no decals to be found 👍

[@meadowsm100]

Ive never understood why automakers do this; it’s fooling no one. In an age of cost cutting I kind of can’t believe this hasn’t been eliminated. Truck looks way better without it!

[@djmjr77]

The 5th gens 2019 and up have plastic trim held on by clips with holes drilled into the door frame...

[@jeffrittenour8202]

what the heck! why would they even put that on there? anyone know if the 5th gens are like this?

[@jd14985]

Definitely gonna be doing this!

[@davidleslie949]

WD-40 removes every sticky substance easily. Just spray, let dwell for several minutes and use microfibre cloth to rub off diluted glue and spray.

[@FCKP2023]

Thank you for the tip

[@topcat5988]

Sweet thanks!

[@eastint]

I guess I’m the only one that much prefers the vinyl. Tinted windows don’t look good to me with a paint strip in the middle.

[@charleebecker8774]

Heat gun?

[@NJDigger]

I don't need to do that on my 1500 Ram SSV. One less thing to be worried about 😆

[@22Pete]

is this the same on the newer chargers??? my 2018 daytona has some wear on the passenger side b pillar and i’m scared to start tugging at it 😅

[@BoostedMotorsports]

I’m not sure! See if it looks like it’s peeling up like this one then you would know if it’s vinyl 💪

[@dallas3559]

I don't know, I like the gloss black instead of the flat black.

Nice!! Will do this soon!!

[@johnnyrocket6588]

You should wax it and put a protectant on it, it probably doesn’t have that.

[@Waskapmutni]

I don't understand why they would put this on. I assume they started on 2013 and later because my 2012 doesn't have this. My 2012 is just like without the vinyl.

[@josephmalinowski6817]

Yo I don't know why people leave it on. You think people would do this after buying the truck they might of scratched it but also with the side bumper to stop someone with there door from hitting your truck. That also fads and looks no good do it in the hot sun and it comes right off and looks way cleaner.

[@nightstalker824]

In my opinion that "mod" makes the truck look dated. These 4th gen rams need all the help they can get to stay modern. All modern trucks have that "pillar less" look goin on.

[@-o-The-Duke-o-]
