    Help Needed Urgently!!

    dont be too fussed about taking the old glue off, just cut the largest chunks of it, then reglue your side strip back on. tbh it sounds like theyve took the strip off to do a repair maybe and they broke the clips and sikaflex'd it on.

    Removing lacquer

    to put your mind to rest. when repairing stone chips on windscreens, you drill into the window with a diamond ended drill bit until you reach the plastic centre. you then inject into that a residue and hardener and it overflows onto the glass. this is dryed and then scraped off (just like...

    Removing lacquer

    haz, why you so scared of using a blade? trust me, i wouldnt give out any bad advice. if theres ever been overspray on glass from cars that have just been painted we get it off with a blade. thinners makes a mess and can damage the rubbers (unlikely on the windscreen as its the scuttle) but...
