How can silicone be removed from around an rv window so it can be properly sealed with butyl. Complete removal is necessary so other material can seal.

On my house, I use razor blades w/ razor blade holder/handle. Score a line around the window gasket,then lay a razor blade flat and just peel it up. There may be chemicals to do this, but they are likely strong, and may damage the window seal, or damage the glass.
I had the same problem with a fish tank. I used a very sharp razor blade. perfect
A heat gun on the low setting should help out quite a bit.
