Any pictures? shrek 08-02-2005, 07:50 PM well it was painted 2 years ago and the rubber is sticking to the roof and around the top i have rubbed some off but cant quite seem to get it all and no pics as of yet but will be soon a73elkyss 08-02-2005, 07:59 PM I've had pretty good luck with "OOPS! Multi-Purpose Remover". You can get it at Loews, Home Depot, etc. But I've "heard" that WD-40 might work to break up the glue. Make sure you take your time and let the chemical work to break up the glue. You will have to clean it up and apply some wax afterwards. If it is really stubborn, I would suggest a quick trip to your local auto body shop for an estimate and opinion. Good thing the paint is not new. That would have been a problem. How long was the cap on it? | ||
