I searched, and didn't find a good discussion on this.

I know some folks have done this/had it done/etc. Later this summer, I am planning to take my VX in for some body work. I am going to have my hood and tailgate done for sure (dent repair, respray). The body shop I got a quote from was telling me they would need to remove the cladding to do a good job when they respray. This made me cringe because I know the cladding is held on with the screws and with double-stick tape.

Has anyone ever removed and replaced the cladding side panels with good results? Give me the skinny.

Thanks- Bart
