    I think you might be right. Some Isopropyl alcohol on a tooth brush and a microfiber seems to very very slowly remove it, but has some definite effect on the plastic. I’d be willing to do it if it wasn’t 104 degrees here in Houston right now. I think for the amount of work it’ll take I’ll just let it rest and eventually replace the them all together. Think those read pieces run about 120 for both.

    Lol I’ve worked with a spray can before but I’d rather replace them at that point. Especially because I understand the tabs holding them in place are notorious for breaking when removed.

    I think it’s most likely the sap at this point so I’ll go ahead and mark this post as (Resolved)

    Sure is weird. Why would it be all over the plastic but not a speck on the rubber window gasket?
