+1 for stripping it. It really isn't that hard and could save you a ton of money and heartache. Mine popped our pretty easy by warming it with a heat gun and scraping with a variety of putty and taping knives. You don't want to heat it so much that it melts; just enough to loosen it from the floor.
I'll be replacing sound deadening, but after seeing what was under the old stuff even where it was pristine, I think stripping is something that should be done on any car that still has the original tar. One thing I wish I'd done though is to cut some paper templates of the tar pieces so I could replace the sound deadening exactly as the factory had it. |
