side moulding gets stretched out of shape?

[smithma7 at yahoo.com (Mike Smith)]

My friend, on his old 16v (RIP), used a hair drier on them to warm the adhesive and he said they peeled off nice and easy.  He also did the black patch between the doors and rear side windows.  Looked nice on his (white paint), until of course, he killed it.

keep it from stretching. i just did this about a month ago. and i yanked, no 
delicate scraping.
