Rear wheel tape weights are missing...

I was washing my car over the weekend, and noticed that the tape weights that were on my inside rims are missing, and all that is left is the glue that held them there. I had also noticed prior to finding this that I had some vibrations while driving at high speeds.

Do you guys think Acura would re-balance those tires and replace the weights?

Yes, take it back to the dealer and have them rebalanced. You might also mention that you felt vibrations at high speeds and noticed that the weights were missing.

What can be used to get rid of the remaining glue? I am afraid to tell them to remove next time I get tires - cause they will probably try to scrape it off with a screwdriver or something!!

what can I use?

Someone once recommended this to remove the leftover glue under badges/emblems, but I never tried it. You might want to make sure it wont harm the finish. I did use it on a peice of wood furniture once and it seemed to work fine.
