Randy,
I use old wooden Popsicle sticks and coffee stir sticks and then sand a flat
edge on them like a screwdriver. They will usually not tear the rubber and
if you slip, they won't mar the paint. Use the right tool for the job
I know that "Snap-on" sells lager versions of what I make out of Nylon for
working rubber seals into windshields, side curtains etc... These work real
well.
Cheers,
Curt
