tar stuff under carpet

[salami]

im just in the process of gutting my car and after 30 mins and several pints of lost blood,is there any need to remove this stuff ?will it get tacky in the warmer weather?

If it's the soundproofing, then cold weather's better since it's rock hard and chips off. Hammer with a flat bladed chisel should work with maybe something like meths to clean up afterwards.

i have tryed hammering when cold but there is an easier way , get a heat gun and a wallpaper scraper and you can simply pull it off! it does weigh quite alot , auto glym tar and glue remover is ideal for the clean up op!!

thanks, looks like a few more hours today should get it done!!!

Put it all into a bag and when you've finished you will realise why it was worth removing it

I did it on my touring the other day, it is alot of work but worth it.

I didn't use a heat gun jst a chisel and hammer as stated above.

Then removed the residue with petrol and green washing up scraper thing.

Heat gun and wide chissel and it will be off in a tic old son

Weight is 21 Lbs for a 2 door so it's worth doing
