Default Black tint between windows on quad cab

Tried searches, maybe I don't know how to search, but couldn't find info on this.

Between the door windows on my quad cab, is a black vinyle like sticker. It's pealing off. Where/how to I go about replacing this?

You could go to a hobby or sign shop and buy some new vynle. I had a maxima at one time and it did the same thing and it worked out pretty good.

Dude, the best advise I can give you is to order the factory decal from a bodyshop. I got a little too close with the pressure washer and flaked mine off. The aftermarket signshop one that I used looked pretty crappy compared to the factory one.

Mine has started to peel off so I'm just going to complete the removal and let it be the same color as the rest of my truck. My feeling is that if it didn't want to be there, why should I put it back just so it can peel again.

If you want a quality replacement the dealership is the most expensive way to go, otherwise find a good quality bodyshop that can order it for you hopefully at less than stealership prices.

It would be interesting to know what some of the people that call dealerships stealerships do for a living and how they make their money and what profit margins they make.

Mine is cracking as well. How would you go about removing it without scratching the paint?

Thanks for the tips. Truck is an 01 so I'm not to upset that it's flaking off. I didn't realize the dealership made a replacement, I'll look into it. I've been surprised by dealership prices with Dodges, I couldn't find the stuff much cheaper elsewhere.
