Please someone help me!!

Ive taken the plastic wind deflector thingies from around the windows off my WRX CLASSIC today and im now left with this horrible sticky gunk all up the A pillars and along the edge of the roof.
I started to remove the gunk very carefully and found to my horror that the paint from underneath is coming with it!! Does anybody know how i can get this off without having to book my car in for a respray!!

OOPS!

white spirit or turps? solvent just make sure its not cellulose based

 

have you tried heating the sticky stuff up with a hairdryer that might work i do that to remove stickers etc.

Is your drivers deflector in 1 piece!? if so i want to buy it please!!!

No sorry mate, i tired my best to keep it in one piece but it snapped aboout halfway down, anyway thanx for the tip i'll be trying everything tomorrow to get it off as i dont fancy another big bill for a paint job!!

Have taken mine off too. WD40 lifted the sticky crap off with a hair drier.
Its no good on a cold day like today though.
Unfortuanatly some of the paint lifted on mine and yup i had to have it sprayed

good luck

It would be better to go to a bodyshop and ask them to remove the c**p off. They should be able to put your car into a low bake oven, then pull the stuff off. This would be a lot cheaper than re spraying it...

 

Too late...yup you guessed it...one not so cheap respray needed for the edges and back quarter panels.
The joys of modding your Scooby!!
