Hi All

Anyone out there removed the stickers around the bottom of our vans?

Use a hot air gun.Warm them up then they will peel easier and
not just break into small pieces.

Hairdryer might be better actually. Hot air guns can be pretty viscious and will bubble paint or crack windows if you are not careful!! :shock:

All you need is to warm up the stickers gently and they peel off easily. 8)
