How to take off old truck window deflectors

[Burnadell]

My window air deflectors got brittle and cracked, so I basically broke most of the rest of them off. What is the easiest way to remove the last part attached to the adhesive strip, along with the adhesive strip itself? Hot air gun?

I peeled mine off. The part that stayed stuck to the truck I used a plastic putty knife on. I got a rubber adhesive removal wheel for my grinder for the rest.

I used a hot air gun and razor blade. Got most off. Finished it off with rubbing alcohol.

If it's a Toyota call DapperDan, he can probably get at least 25% off of it.

Sorry!

I have heard of peeps utilizing fishing line tied to two sticks. Get the line under the plastic peace and get it off with a "sawing" motion.

That's an idea. Thanks!

Can't you just wait till the rest of them get brittle and crack so you can break those pieces off too?

With love brother Randy, with love!

Just buy a 3m eraser wheel goes on a drill and will remove any sticky stuff you want and doesn’t hurt clear coat. That’s what body shops use very easy

Acetone will work well, just do a test spot to make sure it doesn’t take paint with it.

That's where I am now. I only have one off, and it was a real pain, used a razor blade and got too much into the paint! The other 3 are just oieces of plastic stuck to the adhesive strip.

Will check on that. That kind of advice is what I was looking for. Thanks!

I have some. Will give it a go after getting most of the strip off. Thanks!

Fishing line is better than as scraper on curved surfaces, then go to a 3M Eraser wheel on a drill.

Can you tell me what the attraction is with those things?

I've just never thought, "hey, I need those...."
