I have had some water leakage issues with my 03 Z06, so I have removed the interior, carpet, trim etc to track down the leaks. I have also removed the weather trim along with the metal and plastic trim parts along the doors. I plan to reseal these parts, but first I need to remove the old adhesive. How do I safely remove the adhesive that held these pieces to the FRC roof? Can I use a heat gun on low/med to soften the adhesive then remove with something that is not too harsh like goo gone etc???

Thank you,

David

Go to a local paint shop and see if you can buy an eraser wheel from them... You put it in a drill and it works excellent for removing adhesive... Do not apply too much pressure though they have been known to burn paint if you are overlyagressive with them.

Try some adhesive remover first, test on hidden area and if you have to use a stripe off wheel go slow and steady to make sure you don't harm the paint

Thank you both, off to find some 3M adhesive remover and an eraser wheel this morning, will probably strike out on a Sunday..

A plastic putty knife will help to scrape away some of the adhesive after softening it up with adhesive remover.
