2016 Side trim molding removal
Hey guys, I posted this in the detailing thread but it's pretty dead so I thought I'd try my luck here.
Just a quick question that googling around didn't really answer.
Can I remove the side trim molding that came with my car?
I don't want there to be holes in the doors after removal.
The car is under warranty but I assume the dealership won't do this for free.
Googling has made me a bit sure that most 3's have an optional side trim, and if people want it they just glue it on.
My idea is to wait till spring, use a heat gun and peel them off.

I've never seen a Mazda 3 ( your shape) with side moldings, I suspect that they are only held on with double sided tape.
