How to remove rubber???

[windsor8]

Anyone have a suggestion on how to remove this 76 year old rubber that has baked on the deck lid of my 41 Chrysler???

Scraper working from the inside outward. Short sharp taps should chip it off.  If it doesn't work or you are real worried about the paint try a heat gun until soft.

Big flat wood chisel and a hammer.

Use a plastic putty knife and as suggested above use a heat gun or possibly a hair dryer to heat up the old rubber and soften it then it should scrape off.  Do not use a metal putty knife becasue it will scratch the paint.

Spray some penetrating oil on it for a couple days.  Pb blaster WD 40 put a couple layers of paper towels over it and respray ASD necessary  to keep it wet for a couple days then use a razor scraper and a heat gun.

you can also try to soften it with a wet rag laid on top..microwave will heat a towel very nicely...this prevent you from trying to wring out a boiling hot towel
