Default How to take off????

How can I take off the rear step pad? I have a replacement one. My other one is full of cuts and paint.

As you can see from your new one, the old one is held on with 3M double sided tape. You can get hold of a hair dryer and slowly lift off the edge of the step pad and get some heat in the opening (not too hot) and peel off the old one or just try and peel it off without the heat. If done right the only damage to the paint (if there is any) would be under the new pad.

Sometimes we tell owners to use fishing line to get under the edges of parts help on with the 3M tape but I don't think you get under both sides at once to create a sawing motion.

Heat and pry off. The fishing line is used when you can get to both sides and use like a saw but you can't do that with the step pad.
