I recently moved to Reno, and figured it was time to fix some little things on my cherokee - reapply some weather stripping cement in a couple places where it seems it's come apart.

It hasn't been too hot here lately, nothing out of the ordinary for me coming from Sacramento, but I mistakenly left the tube of weather stripping adhesive on the passenger seat. This is what I walked out to this morning after a couple days of it baking in the truck. It exploded out the *** end of the tube and unopened package.

So I ask you, suggestions for getting this stuff off the seat? Most of it, I was able to peel off tonight after it had cooled off. But there is an especially stuck part now on the seat. Not sure if acetone would work, of it dousing my seat with a flammable liquid is such a great idea.

 

try ice on it. Maybe it will become brittle enough to snap off

 

You have a fire extinguisher in your Cherokee right?

 

Not sure if this would even remotely work or not, but you can try the same approach used for removing candle wax that is set on fabric,

Use a standard brown paper bag, layed flat over the dried on mess, and a regular clothes iron. Tear or cut off a piece of the bag, and lay that over the spill. Use the iron on top of the bag, which is on top of the spill, like you would if ironing clothes. Ideally, the bag will absorb in the material as it warms and returns to a semi-solid state, and remove it from your seat.

May take multiple applications, assuming it works at all.

 

Update, most of it peeled off with a LOT of elbow grease. I can live with the two pencil eraser sized spots left for now.
