Rogue window adhesive
Installed a set of flush-mount louvers today, and some of the adhesive squished out from behind as i was setting them in place.
Anyone know what I can use to remove the excess??

You really should've gotten that out immediately. If it's in the crack, you're going to need to scrape it out... which I don't recommend. Maybe now would be a time to consider the Scott Drake quarter window trim.

My bad, it's not the actual adhesive, but the promotor haze that is a showing a bit on the edges. Can that stuff be cleaned? It's not part of the actually adhesion area.

You will have to do some sort of "rubbing". These products just penetrate the adhesive. You still need to use a little bit of elbow grease to lift the adhesive off of the surface.

That's what I was thinking, something plastic. I think I remember seeing TacoBill using something that looked almost like a large pink plastic skewer with an edge in one of his writeups. Almost like a thin plastic chisel? Thanks for all the advice, gonna try a bit if all of them I guess until I find one that works ![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
BTW: CC is a great idea, considering how much I am spending on the car they should be useless soon anyway.....

Before you do anything I would call the company that makes that stuff and see what they recommend to remove/neutralize it. I know your in a hurry to fix it but how many times have we rush something thinking it would work only to make it worse than it was.

^ Ahhhh, the voice of reason.
Thanks Jed, took your advice and did exactly that. I emailed 3M and asked for a recommendation on removing their promotor. My only concern is they will have the answer, but will say it will remove the promotor AND the paint....![Frown](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
We'll see what they come up with.
