Glass removal from windshield frames in Sceptre
 
Anybody got a good idea? I got 2 out but the others are very stubborn. Is there a chemical to loosen the double sided tape? Tricks? I need to get them out quickly as the frames need to be powder coated.

Razor blades. Slowly. Tediously. They'll come….

That's straight up torture! I see sore fingers in my future.

Haven't done it (yet) but here are some ideas if razors are not your thing:
Try acetone first
Methylene chloride or methyl ethyl ketone would probably work but are pretty nasty - don't breathe it (use activated carbon/charcoal filters) or get it on your skin

Hi Jeff,

May want to try a heat gun to warm and loosen the sticky. Think a lot of folks use that remove sticker goo as well as mirrors that are glued to the wall.

Good luck.

I used map gas and slow " leftover " urethane reducer. Also I realized there is a lot to frame removal. I got it done. Getting ready to spray Awlgrip sprayable fairing compound. Followed by high build.

Yep, sounds like a less than fun project. I have an entire spare windshield but am missing the center hatch section. Anyone one out there have one? I need it to complete my build so I don't have to scavenge the one I have.
