Location: Lyons Oregon		 Buy a "take off" wheel for a power drill. I bought mine at Napa. I used an older drill with a cord and it worked like a charm.  It's like a rubber eraser wheel. It will take the old vinyl stripe off without harming the finish.  The other method is to use a hair dryer, plastic scraper and lots of "goof off" or other brand of adhesive remover. Either way it's a meticulous process, but worth it!

Tks so much!!!
I had it re striped at the 4 Star factory & they just striped over the old ones.
$500.00 & 6 years later, they are peeling up.
Now it's the trailer of many colors!!!
