I thought I'd post this for anyone who is searching for an efficient way to completely remove old rubber door, hood, headliner, etc…adhesive without damaging the paint underneath; there ISN'T!
Scrapping, goo gone, scrapping, goo gone, and on and on and on…….
I am preparing to replace the headliner, windshield seals and door seals from having some welding work done on the parcel shelf. In removing the windshield glass (front and back) I discovered a few little areas of corrosion on the lip the secures the rubber trim for the windshields (new patches will be welded in), but I also wanted to make sure it was clean and free of old adhesive as the headliner wraps over parts of that lip….HOLY COW, what a PITA!!! Hours of tedious time consuming work! Now I know why people choose to remove everything from their car and have it media blasted
I still have to repaint/touch up some areas because it's damn near impossible to remove it all without scratching at least a few areas.
Just thought I'd pass this along to the next person who searches "adhesive removal".
