Re: [T3] Residual Rubber Glue Removal

Yes, the Coleman gasoline was referred to as "white gas" by the restoration
guy.  Hopes this information helps someone else as we searched the site last

had the door seals replaced by the gentleman that I refer to, my husband
this morning replaced the seal around the trunk and will be doing the hatch
sometime later on.
