a hair dryer and a credit card is all you need to take the bump strips off....i done it on my mk2, jus heat it and slowly slip the card in and you know the rest lol, dont heat it too much because of the paint, and also glue will still be on your car afterwards, use some goo removing stuff that should help, with the passenger window, jus take the doorcard off grease/wd40 the runners and top of the motor that should help, and for the door lock delock it lol, get central locking!

if the glue sticks 2 the paint after u remove the bump strips then just use petrol 2 rub it off
