Following a nice chat with Midsdaz at Pugfest, I decided to remove the black trim on the door pillars as mine was tatty and he said it was quite straightforward.
Simply unpick it from the inside and gently pull it round the door and then from top to bottom.
As it turns out, they came off really really easily, probably as the weather has been so hot, and they simply peeled off. It didn't leave any glue residue at all, although petrol or turps would have cleaned it off.
The back door 'B' pillar side needs to have some plastic trim removed first but that just pops off.
The picture shows before and after ( hopefully ) and I really like the look with the black removed. Thanks to Midsdaz

Re: Estate Black Pillar Sticker removal.
, Yeah it look's load's better Ginger, I wanted to do the same to mine having seen a thread on this subject by 1978waue.
But on close inspection my car has had the top's of the drivers side doors respayed to fix damage & the muppets have masked it up to the black wrap .
So would leave a horrible line of paint/ masking line
So the only answer is
1. leave as is, but like yours mine is cracked & peeling.
2. replace the black wrap!
3. remove & respray ££££££
But at the mo due to all my prob's with the B*****d car & a serious cash flow prob I am still mulling over my options

Re: Estate Black Pillar Sticker removal.
I heard the back post was quite difficult to do....
Now you've done it (even though you got freebies?!) I may well be tempted to follow suit.....
Watch this space..... Hottest day of the year today so let's let her soak it all up

Re: Estate Black Pillar Sticker removal.
my black covers are a mess too - I had a go at removing one during the summer but although it was very hot, I was left with loads of goo to remove and have not done a very good job. I think the best thing for me would be to re apply some sort of vinyl covering... Is there a specific product that's best to use or do I even have to order from Peugeot?
