mine came off with a hammer and a chisel, no freezing or heating. i think it's because of the humidity of Florida, after 17 years it gets kind of unstuck. it all came off in large pieces for me. i removed everything from undernearth the bins to the rear area under the carpet.

Freezing is too much trouble, heating makes too much of a mess. Rubber mallet and a paint scraper or chisel took it off in big chunks, worked pretty well.
I removed everything from the back up to the middle of the seats and it weighed 13 lbs if I recall, I weighed it after. So that was basically half the car I guess, so maybe ~26 lbs all together?

Talking to me or the original poster? There is more tar than just in the hatch, it goes all the way to the firewall. I for one removed it from the hatch, storage bin area, and half way into the seat area, weighed 13 lbs.

13 Lbs in exchange for scratching the painted surfaces and allowing rust to take hold????? Go on a diet.... you can cut 15 Lbs and save money at the same time

What are you talking about? The carpet is still there and no water is hitting it so it's not going to be rusting. Every pound counts, it all adds up, really. I've shaved over 200 lbs off my car just by doing little things here and there. And it didn't cost any money to remove, I used tools I already had and did this in the summer when I had nothing better to do.
