Hi, Do any of you have a method for removing the black trim (tape?) that is under the windows on 240 Turbos? Mine is cracking and I guess the only way to repair is to remove and replace. Will the paint underneath be affected by the removal process? And where can you get this stuff other than the dealer (if you can even get it from them)? Thanks for any help.

Heat is a big help. A very powerful hairdryer or a heatgun will soften the glue enough to peel the tape. Don't scrape or pick too hard, as the paint can be scratched.

As far as redoing the black, I'm sure Volvo has it at a big price. Any good stripe shop should be able to copy them, or a bodyshop could paint them on. In the last two cases, it would be prudent to take the car by the shop so they know what they are reproducing.
