Getting silicone sealant off of glass?

Aug 22, 2003 7 Replies

I've got a touch of silicone sealant on the inside of the passenger side window. Any ideas on how to get it off, I've got most of it off with a knife but don't fancy scratching the glass?


Polycell and HG Hagsan do a silicone remover

available from your local indipendent DIY retailer, or from me if you get stuck!

expect to pay about £4.50

Spending money? That'll be the last resort option then :P.

Use a paint scraper - it's a knife with a sideways on Stanley knife blade. You won't scratch glass with steel.

well if you hang on till tommorow i might just be able to find out whats in it

Dampen the silicone with petrol and leave it for a bit. It will go crumbly and can be easily removed.

Agreed. Best method, but.....

you can! I have! But not when using the Stanley scraper.

More likely it was dirt rather than the blade.
