Is there anyway to remove the weatherstripping on a hardtop without destroying it?


This is for a regular on the top part where the glass touches...I can't seem to pop it out of the metal channel at all without ripping it!


thanks guys!

 

maybe its glued in there. be careful!

 

I think it muht be....im thinking i need to destroy it to get it out... its kinda rough / old but I was hoping to save it though!

 

3M makes a weatherstrip adhesive remover spray. You could try and pull the weatherstripping back slightly and spray and hope it dissolves the glue.

 

Brake clean can sometimes be used for a similar purpose, but usually from interior trim adhesive more than weather strip glue.

 

I'l ltake a look! thanks!

its not in the best of shape but I was hoping to save it and keep on the side

 

thanks! i'll try this too.....I have some so i'll try it tonight!
