Lead has a low melting point which in itself is good. Once the lead is soft, you will see a change in the color. It usually gets more "chromy". When it is, use a metal brush to take the lead off. You can use a heavy rag (that lead and panel will be hot) to finish cleaning.

Lead is also used on windshield posts where they meet the roof top. If not cracked, LEAVE IT THERE. It is NOT a repair but the way it was built.
