i jus had glue under mine and it peeled off easily! then a bit of soapy water to clean off all the dirt that was caught behind it. onlyh prob maybe that the paint underneath them is a diffrerent shade 2 the rest of ur car.

I am going to do this tomorrow but i've a feeling the paint underneqath will be less faded and stand out.

I might paint them and refit them.

What glue would i use?

Actually if i paint the rubber it will probably crack the paint because it won't stretch with the rubber.

hmmm....
