Hi All

Hoping someone can help me here!

I have made a slight boo boo. I picked up a car recently which had a piece of plastic window moulding hanging off (exacerbated this weekend by gale force winds in Bristol!)

I bought some tiger seal to get it stuck back on, but have made a slight error in alignment! Nothing major but it's annoying me now I know it's not on 100% straight!

Do I have any hope of getting this piece of trim off in one piece? The tiger seal has stuck like buggery! I was thinking some kind of heat on it, i.e. hair dryer? But I don't want to melt the piece of trim!

Worst comes to worse it doesn't matter if the trim piece gets damaged as it's easy to replace but more worried about doing damage to the car by trying to force it off...

Thanks in advance!

You need an Acetone but don't get it near the paint. I wouldn't bother. You have used a polyurethane glue. (It is set)

Yeah, like I said it's not the end of the world, it's just bugging me a bit now I've noticed it. You'd barely even notice if you didn't know to look for it, I just have a bit of OCD like that!

You could try a drop of nail varnish stuff. Might dissolve it a little.

The good news is that the part doesn't actually touch the paint in any way, so I suppose I could always try and cut it off....
