Strip: Hatch Seal
By:Clayton Plunkrtt

Hey Builders,
After a year or more I wanted to replace the seal on my hatches. When I tried to remove the seal it left the thin clear plastic strip that the glue is stuck to. I tried to use "Goof Off" without much success. I have also tried "Goo Gone" or something like that. I wanted to get this old glue strip off but maybe I can just put the new seal down on top of the old glue strip. If anyone has experienced this I would much apreciate any advice on a solvent or technique for removal that has worked for others.
Thank You.
Clayton
