What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

3M magic eraser (link) will safely take that glue off, don't buy the generics. Look at YouTube if you're a skeptic.

3M Molding Tape to re-apply, trimmed to fit the decal. They make a Super Strength version but that's probably overkill for anything other than trim.

Be sure to buff & polish that spot before reapplying anything. Then wipe with rubbing alcohol.

 

I use goo-b-gone myself for that sort of thing.

 

Another vote for Goo gone.

 

Thanks guys, I don't know what I would do without you

 

Chased down a trunk leak in the Civic, it was the seam seal and you couldn't really see it in the trunk channel at all but it was there.

 

Uh, that looks so much like liquid nails... hope its not! 3M makes good sticky icky.

 

You might be right…..

 

My skid plate decal came in yesterday. I had ordered a bunch of smaller decals as well but apparently the seller didn't feel the need to fill that portion tho .... They did charge me for it tho, so that's a thing.



PS4 controller for refrence

 

Decided to try another product for clearing up hazy headlights. Chemical Guys products applied with a random orbital polishing machine. Worked well initially. We'll see how long it lasts. Will update.Before.After. Products.Finished.

 

Yeah I was surprised at how chunky the old adhesive is.

 

It’s atypical. I want to say OEM used foam-like adhesion. My guess is someone had the tailgate off to repaint, or debadged and rebadged it at some point.

 

Yup had that happen to the trunk of my Camry after Young Thug hammered me. Had to take it back to the dealership to have the body folks rework all the sealer around the perimeter of the trunk. Such a PITA

 

Chem Guy products are great

 

There's definitely at least 2 types of adhesive on this thing. Something like hot glue, and something rock hard that's still stuck after multiple applications of goo gone. Couldn't find the 3M adhesive remover at the local HD.

 

Yep, that was my fear I've used GooGone before a long time ago and I thought it might be too brutal for automotive paint. I see they make an automotive version. And apparently a lot solvents are pretty safe for a "cured" clear coat.
Found this:
How do you remove dried construction adhesive?
Removing adhesive: Chemical approach
One easy method is to use standard cooking oil or oil-based materials. Vegetable or canola oil can work wonders, as can peanut butter or mayonnaise. Spread it on, let it soak into the residue for about an hour, then wipe it away. For a tougher clean, try rubbing alcohol or vodka.
Good luck! Love that paint color!
EDIT: IF it were mine ide try to make a pant pocket with good duct tape and a freezer bag type plastic, fill it, and let it sit overnight. Just spit ballin

 

Just used it yesterday to clear sap off roof of 2 clear coated vehicles using microfiber cloth.

 

That took me a minute with the pant pocket…….

but seriously wd40!!! Maybe a wdpant pocket!

 

I paid for the limited, I'm letting everyone know I have the limited with those badges.

 

I once used Turtle Wax on a different car (Nissan)...it removed the paint effortlessly!

 

Wd40 and a rag

3m double sided tape

Beware my heated mirrors and electric rear sliding window

 

You want the 3M automotive adhesive tape. It will have the red peel off backing on it. It honestly is the best stuff out there. When my side skirt was coming off of my MKiv GLI, that's what my buddies at the VW dealership told me to use to fix it, as that's what they used to install it. Turns out they just forgot to clean the application area on the skirt with alcohol. Oh yeah clean it 2 or 3 times with alcohol and clean micro fiber no lint cloths before applying the tape. Same goes for the bading itself.

 

Today's project Skid Plate and Mounting Bash Bar, sand prime and repaint. They're in much better condition than I remember them being.

 

Bash Bar primed coat 1. 45 minutes I'll flip it and self etch prine the back. Then sand.

 

Speaking of skid plates….

Sweet!

WTF?!?

 

@Mr.bee what'd we pay for that bash bar? Like 15 bucks? And I got the skid plate in the axle drums and springs deall I made with that guy with the V6 I first met Casey at and then got to "meet" Polo and his "dominance assertion" in the bed of my own truck .... That's a dirty move your doggo pulled Casey, dirrrrteeeee

Oh the complete rear axle, drums, parking brake, skid plate and both leaf packs was 450. Scored a deal on that one

 

They got 60 40 seat foams on that site?

 

Good question. Wouldn’t matter if they ship them freight though.

 

Ewwwww that's expensive

 

Are the dealers out of stock?
