You can also use rubbing alcohol diluted in water to loosen the adhesive. This combo is also used on the invisble car bras --> Paint safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachRat Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Just removed mine, using a black garbage bag and water to heat the glass up. Unfortunately on 12+ year old adhesive, it doesn't do much. I also found that industrial paint thinner works like kryptonite on that glue. Just make sure you use it with all four doors open. Oh, and for the love of God, watch that stuff around your interior! :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGB Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 My biggest problem with the side windows was getting the glue all the way down where the gasket is, because otherwise it makes god-awful noises when you roll the window down and the gasket screeches against the adhesive.I found the easiest way to do this is to take the panel off.

You should have used 409 instead of water, between the bag and tint. It's works well to leave it out in the sun for a while.My biggest problem with the side windows was getting the glue all the way down where the gasket is, because otherwise it makes god-awful noises when you roll the window down and the gasket screeches against the adhesive.I found the easiest way to do this is to take the panel off.Try pushing the gasket inside the pannels. Might be easier for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
