No screws, just adhesive.
I pretty much used some 40lb fishing line to get the molding started. Then after I was able to get my fingers in there I used a hair dryer just to heat it up a little more and just heated with one hand and pulled with the other.
I was lucky and the back piece pulled all the adhesive with it, thank you Texas heat. The front didn't pull very much adhesive with it. I went and bought an eraser wheel, but didn't like the wax it left behind, so I just used some Goo Gone and squirted it directly on the adhesive, let it sit for five minutes then re-squirted it with Goo Gone then waited about three minutes and just "pushed" the adhesive off with my thumbs.
After all the adhesive came off I just cleaned the area with some Simple Green All Purpose Cleaner to get all the Goo Gone off.
After that I let it dry for a few minutes so any leftover adhesive would show up. There wasn't much so I just squirted some Goo Gone on a paper towel and rubbed fairly hard and it came off. Then I just hit it with Simple Green again and then wiped the area with a microfiber towel.
In total it probably took me about 1.5 hours for the front and back door all together.
I would recommend letting the truck sit in the sun for a few hours then taking it inside somewhere. That is what I did. Like I said the Texas heat really helped to initially loosen up the adhesive.
Left over mess after pulling off the front, notice how clean the back piece came off. All I had to was Simple Green it.
This was all the was left over after Goo Gone and one clean with Simple Green, notice the top. Like I said, just use the Goo Gone on this and it comes right off.
Very pleased with how it looks.
