My weekend project is to remove the backpad and rubber pad behind it. So far so good - the two combined weight 26 lbs! I'm going to put down some Dynamat Extreme and then lay a Morph carpet kit over the top.
One question. Do I need to remove all of the glue that is stuck to the firewall from the original pad, or do you think I can just lay the Dynamat over it? What should I use? So far I've tried Goof Off and a razor blade scrapper, but that's going to take a while and I already have a buzz going (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s) ![]() |

Here is an update on my project, which is now a multi-weekend project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I tried taking the glue off with 120 grit sandpaper, but it would either not take it off, or go right through to the metal. Next was a sander and 220 grit, but as soon as I hit an edge, it would again go right through to the metal and it wasn't that effective on the glue. I ended up going back to the razor blade scraper and Goof Off. Man, it was a killer, but seemed to work the best. I wiped everything down and did a lot of vacuing, and then sprayed paint on the spots where the metal was exposed. Notice the camoflage look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Next step is to break off the back pad mounting tabs. I've got one off, but need to get a chisel for the others. The screwdriver wasn't up to the task. Then put new black RTV in all of the holes and lay on the Dynamat. After that, put on the carpet once I get in touch with Morph. Attached image(s) ![]() |
