Is there a trick/secret method to removing the factory tar coating on the floor pans?

Assuming this stuff (tar like crap) and the underside is sound, why not leave things alone? It may have some sound dampening characteristics.

QUOTE(930cabman @ Jun 29 2023, 11:29 AM)  Assuming this stuff (tar like crap) and the underside is sound, why not leave things alone? It may have some sound dampening characteristics. It has some sound dampening characteristics, but removing it is a great way to remove weight, and you can use something lighter like dynamat instead. I didn't really notice a big difference when I removed the tar in my car and decided not to install any sound deadening material under the carpet. You also can't be sure if there's any rust underneath without removing the stuff first. Even if it looks ok, there's often some rust in areas, like around the pedal cluster or around the e-brake. |
