Need some advice

I am replacing the halo weatherstripping and have most of the old stuff out. What is the best way to get out the glue without using a torch or chisel? DOes it all need to come out? It is getting close to summer and am actually replacing this on two tops. ANy experience would help.

Also, the four screws under there? WHat is removed when those are taken out?

Defintely not a torch or chisel, 3M makes a product that works pretty well, check your local auto paint supply. Make sure it all comes off-

the chemicals work, so would a dremel tool with a steel brush.

3M adhesive remover should do the trick.
