How do you remove black vinyl piece (trunk)

mynewbmw · 07-20-2010, 12:28 AM

The black vinyl piece is located right before the trunk on the rear bumper. I think its meant to protect the bumper from getting scratched from loading stuff into the trunk. I've noticed alot of bmws don't have it.....I wish I didn't now I have to waste time removing it. Is there a diy that I'm missing from my search?

Maybe post some pics? Its not something that you can just peel and maybe use some Goo Gone if need be? I know what you're talking about but didn't think they commonly came in vinyl.

I think you should be safe. I really doubt that something like that would take off the paint. But you may want to wait for some others to chime in just to be on the safe side.

Here's a pic of how it looks like. Do i need a heat gun or something?? Can i just straight up peel it off slowly?
