How to remove glue (1 Viewer)

[Casper46]

At sometime between lockdowns we took the MH to the dealer to have a new habitation door fitted as the existing door was warped. The work was done, we took the MH home and another lockdown started. When the dealership was open again I telephoned and sent a picture of yellow looking glue along the door seal and around to cubby hole in the door. Oh said the dealer, try to get it off with remover of some kind, if it won’t come off drop in when you are passing and we will see to it. We then had another lockdown. Now we can go out and about again it needs seeing to. We don’t really want to trail back to the dealer to spend a day sat waiting for them to try to clean it. I have tried most things that should have budged it, but to no avail, any thoughts on what to use. Some of it is along the door seal so I will need to mask off the rubber so as not to damage it.

Try WD 40

That look a bit like contact adhesive.
Don't know what will move it but may give you ammunition for a Google search.

 

[Burgo]

Acetone (nail varnish remover)
WD40
96 Alcohol (your covid wipe down)
KH7 or similar kitchen degreaser
Fairy liquid with hot water.
Olive oil
Paint thinners

Methylated Spirits
Strong (8% or higher) vinegar

I can recommend Ever Build Contact Adhesive Thinner and Cleaner, yet to find any old contact adhesive marks that it couldn't remove from just about any surface you could think of.

Thank you everyone. I started with WD40 as that's all I had in the house. Between that and a thingy / scrapey implement made remove cuticles most of it has gone. I will but some proper stuff next time I'm out and about.

Be very careful that whatever you use doesn't also dissolve the plastic door trim.

That was my first thought when I saw the mess. I hope the door panel doesn’t need taking off again at anytime, as it’s obviously glued onto the door. I swore that I wouldn’t go back to the dealers as they have been dismissive about problems since we bought new. The door replacement should have been sorted before Covid, but they told us that when the warped door wouldn’t open we were to break a window to get in. They also said that in future we should not park in the sun as it would affect the door !!!.
