I removed the front trunk seal to clean, sand and primer the metal. There was a ton of caked dirt and gunk. I got most of it out with a wire brush and a chisel. However, when I went in with my dremel, there appears to be some glue or maybe seam sealer in the channel. The rubber came out easily enough, but it did stick a little in places; is this glued in? I want to make sure before I remove it all that I'm not removing something important.
I didn't take a close-up of the gunk; it's too dark in the garage and it wouldn't really show up anyway, but I did take a picture of the channel I'm talking about.  |
