Re: need used parts for 1987 honda prelude
 

I did some googling on it...you can use ammonia, simple green, or
de-ice. you put on the solvent and heat it (either with sun or heat
gun) and peel. the point is to peel both layers at once and
melt/dissolve the glue.


But what about used honda parts....any ideas on that, boss?

avoid simple green if you value your car. left on metal, it can cause
stress corrosion cracking.

Thanks for the info! Hope I never need it myself.... I wonder about the
de-ice. It comes in two forms: straight alcohol and alcohol/glycol mixture.

If you live close to a wrecking yard with lots of Hondas that's your answer.
Pull-it-yourself yards often have very good prices, while they-pull-it yards
often test parts or offer a 30 day warranty. I've never bought used parts
on-line but that may be an alternative. Elle is probably our best authority
on parts suppliers.

Re: need used parts for 1987 honda prelude
 

ok i found a salvage yard that has a 1987 honda prelude. I got them to
pull the left hand panel (sunroof open/close and headlight up/down) and
the right hand panel (with hazard light and defroster). Total $75. Is
that too much or about what I should expect?

That sounds about right. I don't think you want to find out what those cost
new!
