Transporting My Dog - He Keeps Pushing Buttons... | 4th Gen Tacoma Forum

Nerve-wracking to tackle on a truck that hasn't been up to a year , but I went for it. I stripped the decals off the rear fenders. Scraped off the decal surface using my fingernail. Taped around the decal, applied 3M adhesive remover, and let it soak for 2 minutes, before spraying it again after. One thing to note, is to avoid spreading the 3M over the paint while wiping it off. I used a plastic razor to scrape off some of the adhesive and paper residue. Then, I sprayed 3M onto a rag to wipe away the leftover adhesive. Sure, there were some light scratches on the clear coat, but Maguires compound worked them out with a bit of effort. EDIT: Don’t skip applying a couple of wax coats after cleaning the surface. Thrilled with how it turned out.

Anyone else have a small dog that acts like a super ball in the truck? He keeps pushing the rear diff lock when we’re bouncing around in town and will sometimes stand on the brake hood button while parked. Should I be concerned about sending these signals via paw?
