As I've had my car stripped right back to bare shell for paint, I've got the black weather strip / water drain seals which go around the door shut on my floor. These are the adhesive ones which stick to the top of the door shut and are fixed with foam tape and a plastic rivet at the B pillar area. (part numbers 902102 / 902103) I've been trying to clean them up for refitting but it's basically turning into a nightmare, and I'm wondering what other people have done or used. I've got rid of the thick and thin foam from the backs of them but it's left a tiny bit of glue residue on there. It's literally impossible to remove any more! I've had petrol on there, dunked them in thinners, had heat on there, picked at them with an arsenal of tools and scrapers but not having much joy. Any sort of double sided sticky tape, even the 3m VHB Body moulding tape, won't take to them and as such I'm stuck Anyone shed any light? I don't want to be buying new ones really (if they're even still available) as they're likely to be mega money
