Jerry,
There is a product by 3M, Adhesive, Tar and Wax Remover, Cat#03607 just
for removing that coating, but it does come with WARNINGS. One that I got
was not to get the stuff on or near where the rubber ends have been joined.
If this stuff is used to remove adhesives also, I expect any joints joined
with adhesives could be a problem.
A second suggestion was to soak the rubber in hot water and a good
detergent. Since this can only be done before any of the rubber has been
mounted it may not help if you say your rubber has already been installed. I
have been using this method and it works quite well.
You said you got your windshield from Rick. I assume you are happy with
it? I was just looking at his catalog for one. I still have my original
windshield, but it has a crack in it. The original is much heavier than the
new one.
