You can buy new stickers from Ford.W.Cup said:
I picked up a thing of "Back to Black" from Autozone and use it regularly on that, the molding, and the door handles.

LOL, well I'm assuming your car is black...BlackTbird96 said:
On the non black ones (and maybe the black ones too, I dunno) they used a sticker along the back of the door to make the trim match up between the side windows.

My question is, knowing just how cheap Ford is, why did they put the stickers on black cars? If you take the sticker off it's the same as the rest of the body color...

You sure? whats the best way to remove them without hurting the paint. I dont want them on there then. I would rather have gloss black then flat black.

Yep.. some here have done it. You just have to be real careful picking the corner off. Pull slowly and keep it as close to the car as possible (IE don't just grab the top and pull straight out) then clean up any goop, and make sure to wax the area.

here's what you get!
It's made by Plasti-kote and it's the Flexible Bumber & Trim spray paint. Now look on the back for 1896 Gloss Black. They also have 1895 Semi- Gloss Black.
I was thinking about doing the new stickers as mentioned above but then I looked on my Dad's 99 Lincoln and saw that ford had painted his and did away with the sticker (you'll notice this on all the newer models) so I figured I'd save some bucks. This paint goes on great (just don't over spray) and it won't look newer than your old moldings. This is the way to go if your stickers are peeling and falling apart. Hope I helped. I can post pictures if any one needs them.
