Black Trim Take Off

[vince@performancecarstereo.com (Vince Royer)]

haha... no, don't use it to take the trim off.  just the glue.. hehe




I hear those eraser wheels work pretty well, but I wouldn't want to u=
se
that to
remove rubber moldings,  the adhesive left behind yes, but not the mo=
lding
itself.
I have used "Goof Off" successfully on stubborn stuck adhesives, but =
a heat
gun
would work very well too.  Followed by some Goof Off to get the remai=
ning
adhesive
and you should be all set.
