So while re-installing the door cards on the doors, we didn't realize that some of the gunk/glue/gray stuff from the actual door got onto the area where the window comes up from, now the gluey/sticky/hard to remove gunk is stuck on the inner part of the window.

What can I use to remove this? I tried 2 different window cleaners with no luck. I'd try more aggressive stuff but my window is tinted. I have considered just having that window re-tinted, but are there any cheaper alternatives?

Thanks

 

Try Goo-gone or mabye something like nail polish remover/acetone.

 

take the panel off again.

take out the window and clean it with some sort of a petroleum solvent.

i hope you dont have tint because that may ruin it.

 

i use WD-40, works like magic.

 

happend to me...i hate that ****. use ICE just regular old ice out of the freezer hold it on the gunk, let it freeze a little and it'll come off with ease. then u get a wet paper towel and wipe off the excess

 

I'll try WD-40 first then the ice method. IF those don't work then I'll prob just have to remove the tint and re-tint the window. I would assume Goo-Gone would be too hardcore for the tint wouldn't it?

Thanks for the suggestions!

 

HOLY SMOKES!!! The WD-40 did the trick and it was effortless!! I just sprayed some on a soft cloth and ran it across the window and viola! It's gone!

THanks whoang40!!!

 

It's all good, that's why were here, trying to help out the community to make good easy decisions.

 

Peanut butter also works well, fyi anyone reading this thread in the future.

 

Wouldn't peanut butter be messy though?

God it was so effortless with the WD-40. That saved me at least $40-$50 from having to get it re-tinted.

 

one time i could not get hood ornament sticky residue off of my hood, i sprayed on some brake cleaner and in 1 wipe it all just went away! (probably not good for paint though

 

The best thing that I have found to remove anything is 3Ms general adhesive remover. Works like magic on everything sticky and on any surface.
