What do you think works best for removing plastic before you make a cut. I'm seen a lot of comments on the FUBAR, and have seen a demonstration of the Ajax stripper. I've considered working on a homemade, heavier version of a carpet knife or putty knife, but would like to hear what you think works..good or bad. Thanks. Jim

I think a simple straight blade screwdriver or small pry tool placed strategically at the place of connection to the vehicle ( i.e.-where screw meets plastic ) does best. As a former UAW worker I know that those pillars aren't on there with much and you can remove them very easily with 2 hands and alittle force. Just keep it simple for yourself, your team and your pt. Stay Safe, Stay Low. God Bless.
