Default So I have a caulk situation.....

I have a 1997 Civic EX 2 door.

Now the previous owners went and caulked the moonroof shut (probably due to a leak in the weather stripping, I'm not completely sure). Now, I would like to remove the caulk and replace the stripping (the motor runs and the electrical appears to be intact).

Is this an impossible task or is it relatively straightforward? Any links on where/how to do this for a moonroof would be greatly appreciated.

yeah, cause so many people have bought a used car which the previous owner found suitable for caulking?

use a razor.

Is there a taste to the caulk?



Use a blowdryer or a heatgun on a low low low setting, some plastic razor blades, and vynil sticker scraper.
