    Super glue in lock and on window

    Some asshat at my stepdaughter's college put super glue on the window and on the lock. I have no clue how to even approach this. The car will be home today, any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Re: Super glue in lock and on window

    In all the cases I've seen regular acetone dissolves it nicely but do be careful around paint. The window isn't a problem, simply dampen a cloth and wipe until it's gone then wash with a window cleaner.

    The lock on the other hand can be a problem. You might be best off removing the lock assembly and soaking it overnight. Use compressed air to blow out any remaining acetone then lubricate it well and test with the key for functionality.

    Or take it to the dealer and have it replaced...

    Acetone got the lock unstuck, but there is a little bit on the paint.
