On my 1990 Eclipse, the rubber coating on the aluminum trim
strips around the windows is cracked and I'd like to find a
good way to cleanly get it all off without scratching the
aluminum. On some of the pieces, I can flake it off easily,
but some is still bonded to the aluminum too well. I'm
thinking that soaking with some kind of solvent might do it,
but wondered what anyone else has done on this.

Thanks!

Fred
