Superglue Issues (noob mistake)

[Rano91]

Okay so just bought a FF 182 in amazing condition apart from a couple of minor things one of which was the gaiter clips had been snapped.

Like an amateur I tried supergluing back on and not prepping properly before hand. Whilst the supergluing was a success I dropped some on the plastic surrounding the gear stick.

Had a pop at it with some warm soapy water and some nail polish remover but it's being a stubborn b**tard.

Should I keep going or just buy the trim? Searched for the trim on the net but can't seem to find it. Annoying as the rest of the interior is pretty much mint and want to keep it that way.

Any help/suggestions appreciated!

Thanks

New gaiter is like £7 from Renault.

FLOL! This. Sorry OP, but picking up a new one up would have been cheaper and easier. Now you will need to spend some time and effort but it will come off. Do not use superglue remover as it will cause more damage as the glue is on a plastic surface.

Thanks, will give that a go.

I assumed the clips were snapped on the trim rather than the gaiter, should have done my research

Supposedly wd-40 was developed as a super glue remover, never tried it personally.
