Removing the B Pillar Vinyl around the windows on your RAM 1500 2500 3500 - DIY - HOW TO
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video we show how simple it is to remove the vinyl sticker or decal that is placed on the B pillar between the windows on 2009 and up RAM 1500 2500 and 3500 trucks. This can be done fairly easily with a little bit of patience and a couple tools.

Be sure to check out the other RAM Maintenance, Upgrade, and Performance videos on this channel! We are also working on project HellRAM and supercharging this 100k mile truck and documenting the full build on the channel 👍👍👍
Awesome vid. Thanks for the step by step. Bought a set of four from Amazon. Dealer wanted $236. Not including tax or installation. Took me about 15 mins to install all 4 thanks to you.
I just came across this as I was drinking my morning coffee, and immediately found my heat gun and went to work. Took me like 15-20 minutes to get the old ones off and another 10 minutes with WD-40 and a microfiber cloth to clean it up. I'm sure the Goof Off would probably be a little faster, but the WD-40 worked well and with a clean microfiber doesn't hurt the paint/clearcoat. My 2010 SLT is Beige/Gold with 96K on it, and I really like the way it looks now. The vinyl was kind of messed up when I bought it 3 years ago, especially the driver door, and the dealer wanted to charge me like $100 per pillar if I wanted them redone. When I saw this vid that showed the paint and clearcoat was under the vinyl, good bye! Good job man, now I have to watch the rest of your Ram videos! I plan on driving this truck into the ground. In 2016, I sold a 96 Tacoma to buy this one, so I'll let you know in 2030 what my next truck is!

Been contemplating removing mine since I have the same problem. On another note, since you're one of few people that does videos for the newer Ram's I feel like your channel should be more popular. Keep an coming!

Lebarron did you ever do this? What did you use? I am still thinking about using plastidip. Boosted never commented back to me on it so I was wondering what you used.
Watched this last night at work and removed mine today after waking up, much better look. I had notice how the edges in some areas was cracking and peeling up and had contemplated getting the stainless covers but ultimately I'm glad I went this route. Great video keep them coming.

Thank God! You just made my day. Thanks for uploading. Never had a vehicle with the vinyl like this and it's soo faded. I didn't realize it was this easy. TY :D
Just wanna say, I did this today. Easy removal. A bit of elbow grease with Goo Gone to remove the glue. But it’s beautiful now. I was back and forth about if it would look better but keep in mind the folded vinyl/cracking vinyl is gotta get removed even if I did a replacement vinyl. Removed looks great! This is the 2nd video of yours I’ve followed (first was the over head flickering light replace) and I’m so happy with both. Thanks again! I keep scouring your channel for move things I can do to make my life easier. You’re the best man. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the support Matt! Glad you are finding the vids useful as thats my goal with each one! Plenty more on the way 👍💪
Saw this video and had to try it. The vinyl on mine was peeling as well. They came off pretty easily. I learned quickly that the more heat you apply, the less glue residue will be left on the pillars. Great tip on pulling that screw out, I would've missed that. I think my truck looks better without it. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for posting this. Mine is wrinkling and cracking. Was glad to see the factory paint is underneath and that it can be removed. Awesome.
Looks so much better with the vinyl removed, the silver really pops against the dark windows! I'll be doing this to mine soon!
Thanks for posting this! I've been wanting to take these darn decals off for at least the last year - mine looked horrible just like yours did - even the wrinkles were the same! A heat gun, some patience (the trick is to pull the decals off SLOWLY and then almost no adhesive will be left to remove) and some GOOF OFF on a micro fiber towel to remove the remainder of the residue. I'm not sure if I like the way it looks like this but it does look way better than it did with the deteriorating decals on there. Thanks again ! My truck is a red 2015 RAM Laramie Ecodiesel 4x4 Crew BTW.
Did this two evenings ago and wonder why I didn't do it sooner. Looks great! Thanks
Came across your video, looking to address the same fading, tearing problem on my truck. Problem solved. Thanks very much. I agree with you. I like the look.
Great video as always. I've made a few mods on my RAM because of your videos. Keep the good work coming!

Thank for the tip. Used a heat gun in addition to the 103 degree hear here in Texas. They came off like butter. Used alcohol on the small glue spot. Blends in perfect because my truck is dark grey.

Mine went the exact same way yours did. Mines the deep cherry and was considering doing just as you did but was concerned the finish might not have been gloss underneath. Thank you for answering that question and I like it, especially on the silver. If you ever do apply any replacement please post so we can see the difficulty in doing that. Thank you again, love your rims/tire combo!
Finally, ram mods videos that are professionally done. I also appreciate keeping cost in mind. I'm retired and love my 2015 ram, so I'm always looking for things to trick out my truck.

Also with the heavy modifications coming with the supercharger its going to be fun to document the progression of the truck with everyone. That way everyone can decide how much they want to tinker and what is worth the money and not 😁
I like it with the pillar removal....makes your truck different from the crowd.
So glad I found this video lol. Previous owner of my 2016 Rebel got F'n white paint fingerprints all over everything, and the only exterior part of the truck with the prints is this vinyl. Definitely removing mine as soon as I get home today, truck is black anyway so not worried about looks
Hi, I removed the b pillar vinyl from my Ram 3500 dually. Much better looking. Only thing to add is removing the adhesive. Mine was really thick. I used high strength goof off. No scrapping, just a lot of rubbing. Keep changing the sacrificial towel and keep it relatively wet. Thoroughly clean afterwards with alcohol and wax. You're done. Thanks, Benton
Looks better with the tape removed. I will be doing mine for the weekend. Thanks for sharing!

I like it, been thinking about doing same but didn't really know what it would look like. I have also silver ram, mine has more chrome and I don't like much the black line the window seal line across the frame that you have now so maybe I will look for window seal chrome cover before removing my vinyl. Thanks Man, keep it coming.
My 13 is maximum metallic and i see slight wear. Glad i found you looks more professional without it on.

My truck is brand new and bird poop appears to have etched a stain in this part of my car. Can't get it off to save my life. This video is awesome as there is nothing else that explains this if you want to remove it completely and replace it. I may do that!
Nice video. My 2013 Chevy Sonic has B Pillars with that same vinyl covering from the factory and it's got that wrinkle thing going on with it like your truck had. Luckily my car is already a dark gunmetal color so it could only look better by removing the factory vinyl. Also, I've learned from using a heat gun on other things that if you wear a cloth style glove on the hand that is exposed to the heat it helps keep your hand from getting burned if you're working on a specific spot for a long time.

I have a Charcoal Metallic Ram and the pillars are the same color of the entire truck. I personally like it very much. To remove the glue, you can use GOOF OFF, it will not screw up your paint and take the glue rig off the surface.

This definitely looks great! But I'm so indecisive cause I think the black looks good too. I suppose the good thing is that you can reapply the vinyl if you decide you'd rather have it back. I may do this. I'm also going to add the vinyl graphic to the hood and the tailgate because I like the sporty look and I think it looks good on the sport hood.

I'm just doing this on my dark grey 2009 and it's really stuck on there. The longer it's on there the more stuck. Got one side done. Lots of heat gun, plastic scraper, goo gone and microfiber cloth. Thanks for your video.
