Depends on how much glue there is,i go in with a dremel disks to cut the glue down......and to get it apart is about the only way,if it was built with the blue tub of glue you could get away with mineral spirits.
Razor saw comes in handy too

Mj has good suggestions but i will add one too. If you run the part, parts or car whatever under warm water and then stick into a zip lock bag, you can stick it in freezer. Most the time water will get between the parts that are glued hard and "pop" them apart from pressure. CAUTION!....make sure the parts are not the type that will break easily. Then again...if something breaks, it's easy to fix unless it's a window.

The most important part is the windshield and frame. The model in question is a 64 Falcon Sprint conv.

I find if you put the glue bomb in the freezer for a few days it will come apart easy.

any suggestions on how to get windows out with out damage? the Vega f/c windows are glued in with atleast half a tube!!! if they are glued in that badly, best you can do is try to cut them away from the windsheild frame and if the window comes out in one peice, beleive it or not it's still usable with some sanding and polishing. i have sanded them down to half the thickness to remove glue and they come out better than factory with no scratches after polishing. if you can manage this, you can just file or use dremel to remove any left over glue and glass on the frame. |

I agree with the suggestions already given. I've successfully used both mineral spirits, and the freezer trick. Good luck with yer project. EH

i recently started redoing a farrie and read if you use brake fluid it makes it easier for the paint to come off,well it works great and i found out it also takes glue off also fairly easy,the downside though is i also found out it also strips crome parts very easily

depends on how it's on....sometimes running under warm water, tossing into a zip lock bag and then into freezer for a few days...can loosen it up and make it break easily off.
other times, a dremel bit is best.....have used finger nail polish remover before....but use the "non acetone' stuff so it doesn't melt the plastic.
