taillight lens removal

[Denis]

  Take the car into a freezer :-) .
  I removed mine while it was cold outside and the black coumpond is harder and unlock easier.

    Phil,
    I agree that a hair dryer is the best tool to use to take off the lenses -
    but I've used Strip Caulk (generously) on my 1980 5k and was not too
    impressed with the bond.  I got a tube of black urethane adhesive (not RTV -
    in a standard caulking gun sized canister) from my local Sherwin-Williams
    auto paint supply shop and used it to install the taillights on my '87
    5ktq - I don't worry about leaks there.
    Cheers!

    ok, could someone tell me what the secret to getting the rear taillight
    lenses, on these cars, off is?

    It's 3M Strip Caulk.

    A hair dryer.
