What's the best way to remove double sided tape residue ? I am replacing the small weatherstrip behind the back glass that runs along the back of the roof . Thanks in advance .....

SOAK in goo gone for 30 minutes, re wet every 10... Rub off with your fingers....or 3m adhesive remover

Dont be impatient.....

Goo gone. Mineral spirits works too.

Great , I have plenty of goo gone . The only question is that it is a very thin strip . Can I apply with a rag ?

You csn try, I like to soak it with drops, find a eye dropper or eye bottle that contact solution comes in...re wet it every 10 min....

Ok Glen , sounds good . I happen to have some eye drops laying around .....

Goof off, same as goo gone.

Absolutely not, much stronger, can discolor some paints and plastic....

From their website:

General Purpose Adhesive Remover MAX VOC 20%

CAUTION: Always test on an inconspicuous area first, as every hard surface is different. Damages many plastics, worn vinyl floors, some automotive paints, and some carpets.

It does great job!

Goof Off or Goo Gone, both work very well to take off adhesive.

Use some WD-40 sprayed on the end of a rag

Sanford thinner for rubber cement. Remove the tape residue with a rag dipped in the thinner which has a high flash point, so it evaporates quickly. Way less messy than Goo Gone.

Acetone will work on original paint (clear coat ), as well. I've used it for at least two decades. It will take off any adhesive residue and leave a perfectly clean surface for whatever you need to apply.

I have used it on repainted areas w/o any problem, but would check just to make sure your paint guy is as good as mine.

I use this 3M adhesive remover for most residue of that type. Buy it in auto paint stores, does not affect paint.

I have goo gone , goof off , mineral spirits and wd 40 . I don't have an eye dropper . I am going to try the wd 40 first on a rag .

Thanks for all the replys .....

cb98coupe

Well , I did it . Very messy job . I used the wd 40 . Just sprayed it on and kept rubbing and rubbing . Took me an hour but it's done . Looks good again and I am glad it's over ....
