You can supplement this with the ScrapeRite Plastic Razor Blade Kit for added cleaning ability. This is a spray and I recommend spraying onto a paper towel or rag and not on the surface as it’s more controllable. I have found that the gel from Goo Gone is easier to work with versus a spray but this might work better depending upon the adhesive type that’s been used.
This is an aerial spray made to remove epoxies. You may notice the spot where the mount was attached is slightly lighter but that’s not because of the Goo Gone, that’s what the color of the dash looked like when you first attached the mount as the sun and dirt will discolor your dash over time.Īnother product which is a little different versus the fluids and gels is the General Purpose Adhesive Cleanermade by 3M. The nice part about Goo Gone is that it does not matter how long the mount was there, it will still work. You will hopefully get it all in the first shot but you may need to apply a few coats of Goo Gone for complete removal of the mount. Attack it with a clean rag and apply some pressure. Lay down a small amount of Goo Gone on the adhesive residue and let it soak in for ten minutes. I like using Goo Gone Gel because you do not need to worry about it spilling on other surfaces in your car. This stuff is incredible at removing adhesive residue from surfaces such as a dashboard and I have never know it to stain. You will likely be left with some glue or paper residue on your dash. Hopefully once you get that done, the mount has come loose. Exert a slight upward pressure on the mount while you slowly ease the butter knife under it. Be very careful to not cut into the dashboard. After doing that, take a thin butter knife and very slowly begin to cut away at the paper or rubber that has the adhesive attached to it. If you live in the northern part of the country and it’s the winter, take a hair dryer out to your car and warm up the area where the mount is attached to your dash. So what do you do? Fortunately there is a way to remove these mounts while inflicting little to no damage to your dashboard.įirst, do not attempt to remove your mount in a cold environment. Very expensive to purchase but also the best around for adhering lightweight mounts to a leather or plastic dashboard in a car. It is a very expensive form of adhesive attached to a thin paper or rubber strip likely manufactured by 3M. Most adhesive dash mounts use a very special glue disk called Very High Bond also known as VHB. The thing is stuck like someone took cement to the bottom. Well now you are getting ready to sell your car, and guess what, that day has come.
Perhaps you thought (like I do) that you will worry about that when the day comes, which you never really thought it would. When you first purchased that mount, you thought it was so great that you really didn’t give much thought to taking it off one day.
