Default Removing the bedside lower protective stickers.

Hey guys, Ford put some dumb stickers at the front of my bedsides that serve barely any purpose. They have turned yellow, and I would like to remove them. Unfortunately, trying to peel them only breaks them into small pieces, so I'm wondering if anybody has any good suggestions as to what will be the best thing to use that will easily remove them? Should I heat them up and then try to peel them, or should I use an eraser wheel?

The picture below shows the drivers side one on my truck. You can see it to the left of the EDGE decal.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Shaun

Blow dryer to heat up the glue. Then it should come right off. Then use goo b gone to take the sticky off.

those keep rocks and road debris from getting kicked up and chipping the paint on the corner of your bed.

The rocks and road debris have already torn up the stickers, and have gotten lightly to the paint where the sticker has broken off. lol.
