    I started to pull off my old trunk weather stripping and it come off in pieces. Does anyone know of a better way and how do you clean the channel for the new stuff?
    Thanks for any input or suggestions!

    Thanks Korrie

    I will try the heat gun on the rest and will have to use the release on the area that I peeled away and the glue stayed behind.

    Nah! Go with 3M.

    I've used the 3M Release Agent on a car with perfect paint (mine). I didn't hurt the paint. When they say "release" they mean it. It works great.

    If your not concerned about the paint and you are going to repaint like me take a wire brush on a drill.

    It will clean it all off to the bare metal. :TU:
