Parts preparation (Quarter Glass)

After a long searching for the body parts for my extinct Flintstones ride, I've managed to score the quarter glasses for my ride which I'm using acrylic at the moment due to the missing quarter glass when I got my ride.

The first thing I did when I got them was to get rid of the stubborn silicone that is attached free of charge with the glasses.

As can be seen the glass and auto silicone was attached to the glasses and in need of removal before it can be fix onto the car later.

Using a blade to remove the bulk of the silicone by slicing it through.

After the bulk of it was remove the remaining stuff was remove using the silicone latex caulk which dissolve the stubborn silicone into flakes before I could remove them by rubbing it off. Its a pain in the arse to remove due to long time it was left there.

The completed process, although not 100% remove due to the stubborn parasite but quite satisfied with the outcome nevertheless.

It's worth the effort bro!

But now you car is heavier at the back, better for sliding the tail I assume? Hehehehehehe!

Its heavier at the back due to the rear hatch... so dun think it will make much different.
