Black trim around rear window on hatchback

[Ian.M]

Hi all,
 I want to  remove the black trim which has been stuck around the back  window on my MK2 Gti anyone done it yet and if so what did you use? its taken me 2 hours to do a very small bit and thats without removing the sticky stuff left behind.
Thanks

Use a hot air gun to warm up the decal, peel upwards, gently and slowly.
residue adhesive can be removed with meths or white spirit on a lint free wrag, taking the appropriate safety precautions when using flamable products..
If you want to go down the new decal route, heres the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MK2-Golf-GTI-One-Piece-Tailgate-Decal-VW-NEW_W0QQitemZ190167200837QQihZ009QQcategoryZ9889QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I fitted one to my car, with perfect results
