fitted my 7/8s ricks wind blocker last week including vibration pads and it snapped today cos i put the hood down with it in the down position!

ive removed the vibration pads that were necessary with larger blocker as they were a bit unsightly and i cant shift the glue. any suggestions what i could use without damaging the plastic any further. ive already tried tar remover but its usless.

Cheers

if it's really superglue.. then water can be a used as a solvent for this..i.e. it breaks the glue from sticking.. don't know if it removes the marks.

Superglue will melt at 72 degrees C. Try a hairdryer.

cheers. i`ll try the water first. not sure if it will remove it as the super glue has set for over a week.

as far as the marks are concerned i should be able to blend them in somehow.

I bust one like that. Why not just replace it?

tebs

cos i`ll probably forget n break that un too! this one didnt even last two weeks!

You can buy stuff called "Sticky stuff remover"...and it really does what it says on the tin

Not sure how it would cope with superglue but its worth a try. Its a spray gel in a yellow tin. Tesco or Wilko probably have it.

cheers shipley handy to know for next time.

got it looking good. dont ask how! lets just say i used something sharp to scrap it off then covered it up and polished it up.

lighter fluid,not the gas, will take most sticky stuff off easily.
