Hehe, wanna buy some stamps?   ;D

ChrisV289:
What's the best way to remove the old glue and left over weatherstripping without damaging the paint?  Trying goo gone but is taking a long time.  The door seals were original as both ends of the driver door had part C4 part numbers in them...

CharlesTurner:
Try Ardex 6214 solvent, comes in a black can.

There are some solvents that you should NOT use: Goof-Off; acetone; other high volatile solvents. I've had some good luck with Krud Kutter, a paint stripper available at Home Depot, on paint problems - but the standard warning applies - try it on a small hidden area first.
Otherwise, "a long time" may be your friend with your current attempt.

+1, the 3M adhesive remover in the spray can is also one that can remove paint/finishes.

The Ardex solvent I recommended is very good and will not cause any issues.
