silicone removal Yes/No?
Dicor was used around the door, but silicone was used around ALL the windows. I know because I have one of the tubes of caulk used. It was "DAP Window Door and Siding 100% waterproof 100% silicone" ...

The Final Straw -- I took a magnifying glass and looked at the silicone as I touched it with my fingernail. The stuff simply lifted up, and when I let go, sat back down, and appeared like it did before I touched it.
There was no adhesion at all.
Around the door, where the Dicor was used, you could dig at it and tear at it, but it is on there, well-adhered. So that is that.
The silicone comes off.
Man oh man, you are super lucky on that. It could have taken the rest of our born days to get it all off otherwise.
Make sure you get any remaining residue and bits off. You might try one of the scrapers for cleaning glass that has a plastic blade instead of metal. Won't scratch surfaces like a metal one will. Not sure where to get one - I got them at a plastics supply shop. For just remaining residue, mineral spirits should work.
