    How do I get the double sided tape residue off my 90 Chev 3/4 ton.
    I replacing the box, have peeled off the old trim and I'm left with this sticky tape. Last time I tried everything, eventually had to scrape it off or roll it off with my thumb and then sand. :confused:
    Thanks Bruce

    Try a hair dryer to heat it up and then the finger/thumb method.

    Use 3m Adhesive Remover, sold in most auto parts stores that carry paint supplies. Works Great!!!!

    Lighter fluid, acetone, or Goof Off

    WD-40 works fine too.

    PB blaster works instantly, not sure what it will do to paint though.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the replys. Here's what I did :grin: Drivers side I used a paint stripping heat gun, removed about 65% of the adheasive, the rest I removed with acetone and a rag, took about 40 min. Pass side I did the same thing except I got a little more agressive with the heat gun and went under the adheasive and removed the top later of paint, no acetone :laugh: Were going to sand, prime and paint anyway. Took about 15 min.
    Thanks Bruce
