The previous leaky front trunk seal was glued in with a generous amount of black 3M weather strip which came in a squeeze tube. After 3 hours of getting way too high on Goof-Off and getting about 1/4 of it off, I am turning to the brain trust for an easier method that does not involve repainting the channel.
Thought about using a heat gun, but don't want to blister the paint. Ideas? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? |

Mineral spirits. Work it slow, won't do anything to the paint. Once the WS adhesive starts to soften up it comes off like magic. Never try this while the WS adhesive is setting up (like cleaning off the extra that squeezed out behing the weatherstrip) - instant paint remover! Just let it dry a couple of days and then remove the extra. I use the stuff whenever I need to remove any kind of adhesive off a painted surface.
