You can pull off the entire strip (leaves holes) or just the clear covering and the actual chrome itself. We did this on another 95 tour that had parts of the chrome that was peeling up so I just grabbed hold of it and started pulling it off. It all comes off in one piece. This clear part is actually held in place by the black rubbery piece that goes all around the edge. What is left is a white strip that can be sanded and painted as we did on demonictour's car.
