what to use for silicone remover, mineral spirits NLA in Calif EDIT: solution found. Options

[914 RZ-1]

Mineral spirits are NLA in SoCal. What do you all use to clean off silicone? I've scraped all I can; I need to get the rest off.

Goo Gone supposedly works, but I tried it and it didn't seem to do much. Maybe I have the wrong kind.

I need to remove it from the rear window and from around the rear window frame on the car.

EDIT: I found a solution. I used Motsenbockers Lift-off. It apparently works by loosening the molecular bond. I scraped off as much as I could with a razor. I applied the lift-off. Let it sit for about 3-5 minutes. I was then able to scrub it off with a rag. Took about 3 applications.

The flour just made a mess! The other suggestions did not work for me.

I have had success using a clear marine type of adhesive. I apply it onto the edge or the rear window, after a thorough cleaning. I did not remove the factory applied silicone seal that is in the rear window track. The adhesive works well and will keep a very tight seal. You do need to use some type of brace to hold the glass in place for at least 24 hours.
