Brake cleaner took it right off. I just wiped it off quick with a wet rag after

this is a great idea, I don't know how you came up with it, I would have never thought of doing it like that. I assume the towel becomes trash in the process. Trying it today!

Hello. I haven't tested this idea but how about steam iron or steaming iron and hair waxing strips. As steam heats the butyl material, cover it with a hair waxing strips till it sticks and pull it off while a bit warm. Do you think this idea will work?

Wouldn’t a can of WD40 a perfect solution? It can dissolve butyl without melting the plastic headlights?

I think steam generator could work there. The regular one.

I wonder what you are using to reseal where you need to remove the butyl.

See I had this thought, and it didn't work so well for me. Though, mind you mine was flashing tape with butyl glue backing. I used a hand steamer to try to "melt" the glue. Wasn't super successful.

A RV’s hot water would work great because it’s like 140 degrees.

Really should only have to have it at about 100 degrees, since that's the weather that melted my lenses off completely. Garbage stuff.
