How to get paint off weatherstripping?

Here is a good tip to know.

I googled this and answers varied from using paint thinner and mineral spirits to a citrus oil solvent to rubbing alcohol and using steel wool, Scotch Brite pad or Magic Eraser.

I used what i thought was the least agressive, rubbing alcohol. It didn't work. So next I used Goo Gone and a green Scotch Brite pad. It worked like a charm.

I am waiting his call. He said he was going to take it to his local garage owned by Mennonites and have them go over it and inspect it. Maybe I will call or email him today. I will let you know when I am coming.

Thanks, Abe
