The mouldings were peeling, cracking, dried out and discolored so I decided to remove them. Lots of elbow grease and some power tools but got it done. I know many have already done it but I'm happy how it came out and wanted to share.

Holes appear on 2nd gens and newer... haven't seen anyone complain before about holes on 1st gens... or they were aftermarket or just held on by 3m tape

No holes, the factory ones are just held on by 3m tape of some kind. Used an eraser wheel, some glue gone after the wheel and lots of elbow grease and a buffing wheel to get out the outline left behind. Some marks were harder than others to get out so a little 3000 grit sand paper followed with compound polish and cleaner wax did the job. Now it's a high gloss mirror shine.
