Default Replacement...sticker?

The black stripe located on the exterior middle pillar that makes the front window and rear window look conjoined is in need of replacement on my truck. I have searched everywhere for some type of replacement, with no luck. Where the h*ll can I find one?

P.S. My description is kind of hard to understand, so hopefully most of y'all know what I'm referring to.

lol, there really isnt any "best" way to take it off. a heat gun and PLASTIC razor works, then use a glue solvent to take the residue off. try to avoid using real razor blades, i dont care how carful you are, you will end up going through the paint.

As far as removing the adhesive. I don't know if it's made by 3M, but there is this wheel that is used in a drill. it is like a bunch rubber/silicone discs held together on a center shaft. I used them on KC-135's to remove decal residue before paint. They work really well.

x2, i have used this wheel a few times, works amazing... and releases that great burning rubber aroma we all love. i did, however, notice that it takes paint off sometimes. i dont know if the paint was apllied incorrecly, but it did come off, so use caution.

mine is a solid rubber and it takes off adhesive great leaves nothing behind and really lasts a long time, was 40 bucks for 2 (had to buy a 2 pack) came with the part for the drill which name escapes me.

It's called B pillar blackout and can be found here: http://www.mydodgeparts.com/

Go to catalogs ... then under "Body Parts" enter your "Year" and "Make". On the next page, your "model". On the list ... near the bottom you will see "Stripe tape". Click it. It will open out and you will see "Stripe tape" again. Click that. Click "Decal". "b pillar blackout" is the third item down. $36.23 or $37.26 ... not sure which one you need.
