have been to the garage and the man had a look at my car and said that the back quatre of my car at one point was sprayed without taking the rub strip off with has left a inprint, he said they had made a really good job of it tho ( i couldnt tell it was ever sprayed!) so instead of putting the strip back on i have booked it in to be painted along 1 side and they are going to remove the sticky tape on the other side and get rid of the condensation for £200 think thats resonable? and il get some pics on asap | |

AFAIK yes, that's the issue quite a few on CC|UK have. Some have success with a heatgun, some don't. | |

Well you'll need to get all the glue off to try and match the paint colour as that'll need machine polishing most probably. If that fails then you'll need to stick them back on :thumbs: | |

Hairdryer might be ok, but like said above a heat gun is best. On my old C I also used AG Intensive Tar Remover and a lot of rubbing | |

Heatgun to soften the glue first will make the job a million times easier as you should then be able to pull most the glue off with the rubstrip meaning minimal effort to get the remaining crap off! ;) | |

quote: Correct. Although it has become a bit of a common problem to find moisture beneath them trapped in the clearcoat (lacquer) sometimes it can be removed using a heat gun, sometimes it leaves the paint fooked so will look better with the rub strips back on :thumbs: | |

hi was wondering does anyone know if the black pannel rub strip along the side of a corsa c is held on with stick tape or are they bolted on and will leave holes in the bodywork? |
