Default Seal Replacemebnt

I'm replacing the rubber seals around the windows, windshield, and halo area on my '96 coupe. Any good ideas on what kind of chemicals to use to loosen/remove and clean up the old factory adhesive? I'm using a Prep-sol type adhesive remover. It does the job but it's slow and takes a lot of work. What would work better?

This your first step, take your time and remove ALL the glue completely and use 3M Adhesive and 3M glue.

If you do it right, it's all day job, don't rush you get sloppy and could get water leaks.

After all clean, lay your seals in the grooves and use little has possible glue has needed.

Thank you both. I will get the 3M adhesive cleaner and give it a try.
