You can use a hard scraper to chip off the old adhesive and the best thing I have found to use to replace the pad with us carpet glue. You can pick it up at your local hardware store. Some people alse use silicone but it won't hold as well.
Also after you can use some pure alcohol or acetone to loosen the old adhesive.
Will using an acetone like product damage the fiberglass fender?
Thanks for the replies..

The non skid rubber on my trailer's step was coming loose and a dealer used Gorila Glue to fix it.
Got an order from Ranger last week with new rubber step pads for the front of my boat and steps on the trailer. They cut the pieces to the original pattern and shipped to me ready to go in, saving me a lot of stress. Mine were disintegrating from age.

no acetone will not damage the fiberglass.....we use it alot. Acetone can work miracles.

Carb cleaner will also take off the old glue and will not hurt one thing, we use both sometimes to take old glue off.
