Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Generic How To ..... Porthole window seal to window itself help ?

Hi
I'm looking at getting my nos rear porthole windows either chromed or fully polished . Has anyone found an easy way of removing the seal from the alluminium frame itself ? Can the be removed without damaging the seal ? They are still supple but don't want to ruin something I can't replace, they are the parralelogram shaped ones .
Many thanks

3m makes an “eraser wheel” that fits in your drill.
I remove old lettering and adhesive from new vehicles without a scratch.

I wouldn’t worry about the seal. Some of the new Flexiseal will bond it.

Hi .thanks for the reply . I've managed to get them apart without damaging the seals .there is an inner thin seal that keeps it up agains the larger to outside gap . Removed that gently first that allowed me to get it all apart for polishing ..
cheers

Would like to see videos or at least photos of everyone’s projects.

Glad it turned out well.
Please post finished photos if you can

Thanks
