I am replacing some seals on my car to fix some water leaks.
first, what is the best way to get all the old glue and seal off without damaging the paint.
second, how does the trim around the rear window come off.
last, has anyone ever used Corroless Rust Stabilizer from eastwood and tell me what you think of the stuff

Without hurting the paint, huh? I'll be eager to hear the recommendations, too.For the window trim, use a window trim removal tool, and go real slow. I've used Duro rust converter, and it worked well. I'll be eager to hear the opinions on this, too.

Joe,
First, the glue removal will be tough. Mineral spirits works pretty good, even a good tar remover and try to use a wood or plastic scraper. Is the glue soft or hard and brittle?
And for the third, I have used the Corroless on my cast iron FMX and it worked great. You know how rust is on iron, I applied the corroless and then painted it sure looks good and no signs of rust coming back  IP: 208.238.117.18 |

3M makes a weatherstrip adhesive remover, don't they? I've never used it myself, but supposedly it works pretty well.That window trim can be a real B----! Get a remover with a handle on it. The plate steel ones hurt. What about POR-15? Anyone ever used that? ------------------

1) Try some of this stuff called Goo Gone. It a yellow citrus based liquid that comes in a clear 8 oz bottle. When I was reinstalling the front and rear window trims I used this on the trim and around the area around the window to get the excess sealant off. It may not work as well on old glue (probably will) but that stuff is great and has tons of uses so if it doesnt work for the old glue it wont be a waste of money :>). Gets tar off, crayon and marker marks, sticker residue off stuff, etc (love that stuff :>). If you use it on paint where glue wont be going again be sure to wax the area afterwards. Oh yeah, you can get it in the household cleaners aisle of your neighborhood grocery store :>).2) Get the tool or you may be able to do what I did and use my hands and a putty knife but you have to be real careful doing it this way :>). Actually now that I think about it I have done it to two different Mustangs this way (my '65 and a '66 we use to have). 3) I have never used Corroless but I have used this stuff made by, umm, cant remember right now. You can pick it up at Wal Mart in either a spray or a liquid and it works great. I just checked in the garage and its made by Duro. I have also used Napa's Extend which is a spray made by Permatex and that stuff works great too (it seemed to work a little bit better than the Duro stuff). ------------------

the glue is hard in places and soft in the corners.
as far as the tool for the trim i have seen them. do you just basicly cut the glue and pry the trim off? arn't there any clips of a type holding it on.
and what about por-15. the adds sound great. from what i have read it will fill pin holes. any info on this stuff

Goo Gone works awesome. Just thought I'd second the vote on that one. Tons of uses too.IP: 128.196.167.106 |

Joe,The trim is held in place with clips. The tool gets you next to the clip to pry, and I think you can actually grab the clip and pull it away from the moulding some. You just have to take it slow and easy. In an older post I think Alex mentioned that Tech 2000 carb cleaner removed the glue, just have to be carefull not to leave it on the paint too long.

There are many products for treating rust. On the autobodystore.com page, they seam to prefer Rass-O-Nill. I've used it with good results. You clean off the loose rust, treat with the rass, prime and paint. POR 15 also gets good reviews, but if part of the area your treating does not have rust, you need to use their special prep product to give the metal some tooth. Some have complained that the POR can flake off, but I suspect they skipped the metal prep for the "clean" metal.
For the trim clips you can either get the right tool for about $5 at parts places that sell paint supplies or cut a notch in a putty knife so you can hook the clip. IP: 157.182.80.226 |

John, would you have a picture or drawing of a putty knife with a notch cut in it? We can keep it in the 'Tips' archive. Sounds like a handy tip!------------------
