How To Clean This

I had to replace my landing gear switch and plate and still need to replace the battery vent and reseal all of it.

How do I remove the old sealant without scratching the fiberglass siding? Will acetone clean this off?

    You should be able to cut the caulk with a razor knife at the joints and peel the vent off. You can then use a plastic putty knife (scraper, something) to get the majority of the remaining caulk off and reinstall with the same type off caulk as you will likely not be able to remove it all.
