Sunroof tray 'glue' removal
Hello Pelicans.
Could someone please give me some options on how to remove the sunroof tray 'glue' ? It is some sort of body adhesive but I can't get it to budge. Pretty good for something that was applied in the '70's. Thank you.

3M makes a pretty good adhesive remover. I have never tried it that application but it does work on most dried old glue & adhesive.

a citrus oil based product called "goof off" worked for me.
wd40 might work . always test in a un conspicuous spot first

I may have been too ambiguous.
The tray is still attached to the underside of the roof. I have all the welds ground off and now the only thing holding it up there is the factory glue (epoxy?) I can't seem to separate the sunroof from the roof skin. All help is appreciated. Thank you. (Thank you GH85Carrera and Bob for your suggestions)
