Window Rain Guards

[Shado34]

Hey im trying to remove those window rain guards on my r34, does anyone know how to remove that sticky stuff thats that hold then onto the car?

tnxs for any help

[jezzerrr]

kero, a rag, an old credit card, and patience. soak the sticky stuff well with your solvent, then use the credit card to carefully scrape it off. dont go too hard or you'll end up with scratches.

tnx

your the first person that knows

Yeah thats the best way. I used a bit of turps on a rag and carefully just let it soak in and it sorta turns it to jelly which is easy scratched off by finger and then just rubbed like hell to get the rest off.

Its a very slow process though.

Im still trying to get all off!

HAH finally!! Was thinking of asking this problem myself!!

Its a right bastard to get off eh?!?! It pisses me off as I lean on the car and it trys to rip the bloody hairs off my arms!!

I will get around to doing it this weekend

Cheers guys!!

yeah had them on the car... not exactly sure why you'd even have them on there in the first place, it's not like they really do anything. I put it down to that japanese fetish of having shit hanging off everything...

The best product to use is probably "SHELLITE", should be able to find it in most supermarkets near the metho. Metho has a brown label, Shellite has the blue label.

I use it at work to remove sticky labels, off the label printers. Doesn't react with the plastic, etc.

using kero worked the best for me, i pulled off what i could by hand, then used a cloth to rub the kero on, then it was a matter of scratching the rest off with a credit card.

Only problem is there is a bit of a gap between the rubber and the door frame were the rain guard sat :S

i took mine off last weekend, i used citro-clean and a credit card, worked like a charm looks pretty good.

You wont get it looking perfect though.. so think carefully before you decide to do it

I did mine last weekend also. I took of the chunky bits off with pliers and the rest with windex.

mmmm, wonder if I sould sell them on Japan Ebay?

[nsm034]

took mine of with prepsol on the glue( the best thing to use ), but underneath where they were sitting was all marked so i put them back on again

[justin911]

prepsol is for girls!

citro-clean is where its at

lolz...

For the last 20yrs i've always driven with the windows down, even in winter I have to have it cracked atleast 2"...I was actually thinking of getting one of these for my 33 after finding out how much water flows in with the windows even slighty cracked in a light shower..especially when you pull up (bath anyone?)

Anyway to the point, before you guys removed your's did you notice if they actually work at all? being so small I wasnt sure if they'd have any effect.

Cheers Bung.

I just took mine off so I'll let you know in a couple of days

[madbung]

Ok here it go's. They actually do work pretty well. What it mainly stops is the water that is on the roof filtering down into the car. Without them all the water gathers in the sill and streams into the cabin through the window. I guess if you ever take them off don't wind ur window down for about 2 mins after you take off. Then you'll be sweet
