I took a headlight off a 98 civic at the junkyard. I took it apart to see if I could take the yellow markers out of it. Now the problem I am having is the sealant on the headlight. It's really hard to get off. Any body tell what I can use to get it off.

 

stick the headlight in the oven for a little while to heat up the sealant. the sealant will become soft and you will be able to pull the headlight assembly apart. just remember not to leave the headlight in the oven for too long. an alternative is to use a heat gun.

 

yeah that would a good one in the oven or use a hair blower or a heat gun

 

no I got the headlight apart. I want to know is the something I should use to get the sealant off the headlight. Should I just stick it in the oven again and peel it off?

 

Yes

 

also try goo gone or goo off or something like that.

 

thanks I'll try it today and get back to ya

 

Yeah, please post how this turned out. I am painting the housing and ran into the same problem when I had them taken apart. Thanks.

 

Hey well I tried heating it up but that was pretty much impossible to get it off. I'm going to take it to work tomorrow and see if the mec. can figure out how to do.. Anybody got anyother tips I need help bad.

 

still no luck anybody done this before??

 

heat gun works wonders.

 

heat gun worked for me, just try not to get it too hot.

 

did you get all of the sealant off or did you leave some of it in there. Do you headlights leak at all?
