Get a really cool poster of a scene in the Alaska wilderness and glue it to the wall.  Wink

It'll make your Pod feel much more spacious in addition to hiding the glue stain.

I contacted Forest River.  They suggested Goo B Gone or acetone.  I tried both and neither did anything.

I'm thinking I need to paint over the glue or replace the panel.  Forest River said to contact the parts department for a new panel.

BUT.....that means removing molding and such.  I wonder how much damage to adjacent surfaces I'll do removing it.

I need to do something because every time I step into the RPod, I get pissed that the factory workers did that AND I didn't see it on the dealer walk-through.

Any ideas?

I had this same problem with my 2017 RP-179.  I used some mineral spirits in the attempt to remove the adhesive.  The mineral spirits did make subtle changes to the interior finish where I applied it and rubbed the surface.  I thought that mineral spirits would be less aggressive than acetone or Goof Off.  My point is, test carefully before using solvents on any part of the interior of your pod.]]> Fri, 08 Jun 2018 19:19:43 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11677&PID=110414#110414 Construction Adhesive residue....and removal : Are you talking Goo Gone?

Goof off night work - just test it somewhere inconspicuous to make sure it doesn't affect the finish.]]> Fri, 08 Jun 2018 18:21:56 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11677&PID=110406#110406 Construction Adhesive residue....and removal : Acetone? https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11677&PID=110267#110267 Author: lostagain

Our 177 has numerous construction adhesive blobs, streaks, and fingerprints on one of the front wall/ceiling panels.  These are left over from manufacturing.  They seems to be getting more noticeable as the unit ages.  And yes, we missed them when we did the walk-through since they were barely visible then.

Any suggestions on how to remove that stuff?  I've tried brake cleaner, rubbing alcohol, DEET bug spray so far.
