Ugh...I KNEW taking the car to the dealership to have the windshield replaced was a mistake. DANG IT! Alright, I now have silicone on the roof; it's a tiny bit, but it's damn annoying. I took off a good amount of it with a simple quick detail spray, but there's quite a bit more. Anyone? I might use heat + goo gone.

On another note, they also damaged my pillars, and left a very noticeable indentation on my dash board, on the passenger side. They're willing to replace it all, but...taking another knife to the car will most likely backfire

 

Try gently rolling it off with the ball of your thumb.

 

try any of these, they work great!

dealers dont do window repair, they have a 3rd party do the install. so the 3rd party screwed up.

but the window is factory though.

 

my dealership experience has been the same

take it to fix one thing, they screw something else up.

 

"Get off silicone"? Gently with a lot of stroking.

Anyway, here's what I'd do without seeing how much silicone got on the paint, assuming you're talking about silicone adhesive on the painted surface of the roof:

1. Get an aggressive clay and some WD-40 (really). Try that first if the silicone is thin.

2. If #1 doesn't work, stop by a body shop and ask them to sell you some adhesive removers made for this situation. The product they use will likely soften the stuff up enough for you to remove it with a plastic razor blade (or your fingernail if you have all day).

3. Polish out any marring from doing the above, and reseal/wax the area as it will have no protection left on the paint surface.

Of course, you can always call the dealer and tell them about the problem, but I would be wary of letting them attempt a "fix" that will likely end badly.
