Hello All,

Can anyone tell me what exactly is that Lino like matting stuck to the inside of the floorpan please? I am in the process of replacing some of the floor panels due to the dreaded rust!! Also does anyone know of an easier way of removing the stuff, I am using a hot air gun and scraper and the progress is slooowwww!!!!!! :headvswal :headvswal

It is for sound deadening.

On a cold day they can be chiselled off cos they shatter a little bit at a time or as you,re doing , a heat gun and scraper and thinners on a rag will remove all the little bits left behind :headvswal

A p.i.t.a. job :rant:

Try a plumbers lamp, although cos its a flame it'll do it quicker but you do run the risk of setting fire to your car if your not careful. On a side note, if your gonna put sound deadening back and don't want to spend loads on dyna mat, cheat and use self adhesive flash band. Just warm it on when you apply it. It sticks better. Its the cheap alternative to lead flashing on houses. But it ha good sound deadening properties as well.

Cheers Guy's :bow: :bow: :bow:

i would chip it off. heating it up will just give you a harder job to do.
