- MainshipExplorerIs turpentine still on the market? should dissolve it but no guarantees on it not dissolving the roof. Rubber is now plastic and plastic has softener that might be removed. I like the peanut butter, leave residue and will attract mice and squirrels away from inside.
- srt20ExplorerWD-40 and peanut butter both remove pine sap. I'm serious.
- downtheroadExplorerOP is asking about a rubber roof...Brake Clean has been suggested. I be very careful about that...
- siggyd777ExplorerJust use "Rubbing Alcohol",it's also called Isopropyl Alcohol,I used it,It Works.Let it soak in a little!
Siggy - J-RoosterExplorerWhen I have any type of tree sap on my hands we used butter to remove it. Learned that when I was a young man working out in the woods. So if your dealing with a small spot butter will work!

I use automotive Brake Clean on painted surfaces but it does remove any wax/protection.
You could try it in a small area.
Brake Clean is very handy for a lot of things, I even use it for grease stains on carpet. you should keep a can in your maintenance kit!
Good advice - I always keep a can or two handy! - Dale_TravelingExplorer III'd say leave also.

- downtheroadExplorerLeave it where it is...it's a good sealer.
Removing it will take chemicals and aggressive scraping..both are bad for the roof.
It's a roof, not a dining table or windshield or pillow case. Also, next time you go camping and park under trees it will be back again.
