Same way you removed it from a Ford Country Squire. Get out the hair
drier / heat gun, and lots of patience.

....and expect the paint underneath to be noticeably glossier and less faded
in color than what wasn't covered.

Thanks for the tips. I have an 02 Cruiser that was in an accident, both
drivers side doors were severely damaged. I planned to replace the woodgrain
on my new doors until I discovered the cost of woodgrain on just the doors
would run over $1000.00. Absurd, so I decided to remove the woodgrain from
the rest of the car, but wasn't sure what I would be getting in to.
