Trying to remove sealant
ok so i have my headlights apart and there is a ton of sealant on them... what is the easiest way to get it all off... i was using goo gone but it only works when there is very little sealant on there... will a paint thinner or acetone work?

i started that with the first light, but its a real pain in the ass i want a chemical that i can use my hands are sore from using a screw driver to pry the sealant out...
i got half way with my first and said screw it and just put one in the oven at a time MUCH simpler..still had to pry to take it apart but at least glue issn't spill any where and nothing cracked
when u put them in the oven its gonna make the glue all soft thats the easiest time to remove it, it sucks but thats the only option you have..Make sure you remove as much as possible and take your time on it dont rush it because then you can have a better sealed headlight
