I HAVE A 2004 F150 FX4 4X4. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRUCK......EXCEPT WHEN I PUT ON THE VENTVISORS THAT STICK AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW ON THE PAINT. THEN I SEE THE NEW ONES THAT GO INTO THE WINDOW CHANNEL.......OF COURSE I MUST HAVE THESE.
NOW I CAN'T GET THAT DAM 3M TAPE OFF THE TRUCK....I AM WORRIED ABOUT DAMAGE TO THE CLEAR COAT.
SO FAR I USED WD40, 3M TAPE REMOVAL SPRAY A COUPLE OF CITRUS GLUE BEGONE CHEMICALS.....GOOF OFF AND NOTHING IS WOWING ME.....ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

 

try a hairdryer. Just heat it a little at a time. You dont want it hot, just warm enough to loosen up the adhesive. Should help get most of it off. Then go back with the WD40, that should take off the residue left behind. Good Luck

 

I'm not sure if this will help but It has worked for me with other sticky stuff...... Try using a BlowDryer not a heat gun but the Wifes or Girlfriends HairDryer


Do you have a link to these new Window Guards your talking about..

As for goo gone as suggested by DrPaul84, I didn't use the hair dryer but when I got done with the goo gone the rubber around the window had a dull finish to it, not like it was when new. I don't know what it will do to paint.

IT IS DONE...... AFTER 4 HOURS AND A LOVELY NEW BLISTER ON MY THUMB , I HAVE WON THE BATTLE.
DRYER AND "CITRIS WIPE AWAY" AND WD40 WAS THE WINNING COMBINATION

MY GIRL PICKED UP THIS CITRIS WIPE AWAY AND IT WORKS GREAT.

I FISHED IT OFF WITH WD40 WHICH BROUGHT BACK THE DULLING OF THE RUBBER AROUND THE WINDOWS.

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP........THE GRINDER WAS ALMOST COMING OUT....

AFTER A EXTENSIVE WASHING AND WAXING THE TRUCK LOOKS AWESOME

Glad to hear that it worked out BIG... I would suggest making sure that you go back over those areas where the solvents were utilized a few more times with additional wax...

In short, if you only applied one coat, I'd go back over those areas again just to ensure uniform coverage.
