Looking for different methods to remove the heat insulator from the inside of the car.

Thanks

If you are talking about the "hairy" type stuff........scrape and elbow grease.

If you are talking about the "tar"......scape, flame,freeze, and much, much, much more elbow grease.

Two effective ways:

1st:
use a blow torch, heat & melt, scrape with a putty knife, once cooled clean with paint thinner.

2nd:
(In Texas) use dry ice to freeze the tar, beat it with a hammer and chip it up.(In the north) put the car outside, then pull it in and beat it with a hammer and chip it up.

I spent 1 week doing this...it is not easy!!

Tar, use dry ice. Get in in chipped form, spread it out on the floor, drink a beer. Then whack it with a mallet, itll shatter like glass.

I used the torch method. I had to watch out for hidden wires under the surface of the stuff but it went well and took 2 days to do. It's amazing how flammable they make that insulator stuff.

Sorry to sound so ignorant, but I hope I can take advantage of the lovely weather we are dealing with. We are averaging 23 degrees Farenheit, is that cold enough to break up the stuff or should I just get the dry ice and drink some beer

Get the ice and beer! I did mine with an air chisel, poked a bunch of holes in the floorpan. I got clued into the dry ice trick after mine was done. Oh well.
