PS: GB likes to use a fine brass brush to remove old cement.
Here are some adhesive removal thoughts:
Beware of using MEK, it can soften and
remove paint and in high concentrations the fumes can negatively affect your
plexiglass windows.
Boeing has begun using a replacement for
MEK called Citrasafe. Info
HERE and
HERE
Toluene and "Goof-Off" have been reported
to give good results as has 3M #08984
Here are more thoughts from Guy on seals:
The cleaner the surface the better for adhesion
Lifetime warranty with the Silicone seal
No Color change, no change in durometer (will not harden over time)
Baggage
Door Seal & Emergency Window Seals
