Try 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover. Also a neat trick that I found when trying to put the 3M string body putty between your car body and the rear quarter windows moldings(I had removed for polishing the stainless) was Goof Off.

I made a string of this stuff to fit the general contour of the molding and the body, screwed the parts together which caused some of the stuff to squish out leaving a terrible line. As any of you who have done this probably know the idea is to now make this a clean line and I found it impossible until I tried this.

I took a small section of Turkish toweling, poured a little Goof Off on a corner of it and using my forefinger just began rubbing back and forth on this squished out line. This action removed the squished out putty cleanly and I was left with a window molding, body roof line fit that was a good or better than the factory job.

Took some time and patience but all other methods that I tried did not turn out well at all.

This discussion about softening window rubber triggers a question that I 
have been toiling with. What can be used to safely clean rubber window 
gaskets? My front and rear gaskets on my '65 are soft enough but are pretty 
gooped up with sealer (As well as the edges of my original rear glass)

The front glass had been replaced recently and I think it's eurethane that 
was used however the original black sealer is still present as well and is 
really sticky. Didn't really want to resort to acetone, laquer thinner, or 
any type of stripper until I ran it by the group.

What was the original product used and what will disolve it(if anything)? 
Anybody have any tricks to make this job easier?
