In my continuing effort to make my t-tops watertight, I have got some silicone grease down in the drain hole of the metal gutter in the t-top opening. Its not completely blocked, it does drain, but not fast enough. I am thinking that compressed air will just blast a path in the centre, and leave the silicone grease around the outer circumference. Does anyone know if there is anything that dissolves silicone that I could pour down ?

 

Or anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks

my mate uses silicon disperser in paint when he has to paint a dealers car, they usually come fully valleted and they tend to use silicon based products, paint dont stick to silicone and this stuff disolves it, might be worth a try, ask at your local automotive paint suppliers.

Thanks Beermonster..........

or pull the A pillar trim off and you can get to the pipe.

Vijay........I did not think of that.........I have never had it off, does it just pull off?

 

Thanks,

 

John

Great....off outside to unblock it now, this should be the end of my leaks now.

 

Thanks

and for the adventurous- I believe that nitromorse paint stripper disolves silicon pdq, but it will also make a big mess of the rubber seals etc.
