Hi all -

My wifemobile (1988 244GL) has a sort of extra seal on the upper half of each door. The parts guys at the dealer told me that (1) it's to cut down on wind noise and (2) it cannot be retro fitted to earlier model 240s.

Well, I managed to get a set from a recycle yard, and I want to install them on my 1986 244GL. I have some 1/2 inch wide foambacked double stick tape which should fit OK even though I think Volvo uses 12mm wide. The tape is from Ace Hardware, should I find some that's made for automotive exterior use?

My main question is this: What should I used to get the area where the tape will be stuck on to be really super-duper clean? Denatured alcohol? 409? Simple Green? 000 steel wool? Your contributions will be welcomed.

Thanks in Advance,

Bob
