Do I have to take off the tires to perform the melt mod or can I just crank 'em out with steering to get enough room? Thanks

Pretty sure you can just crank them to one side. Thats what I did on my 02'

Never done it but I'd go for the extra room to work.only takes a sec to block it upon a stand and pop the wheel off. Then you've got lots of room to work

So I was able to leave the tires on and just heat the area up evenly with the heatgun.

Best molding method was to just use a cold-water soaked rag to apply direct pressure with my hands. Worked like a charm. Thanks

Melt mod? Pattymelt? Did you make a sandwich under there?

Pluses and minuses on both.

Easier to heat the plastic more evenly if the wheels are off.

Easier to wedge something between the tire and plastic while it cools for a better fit. Even using the wet rag.

That said i removed my wheels.
