ArthurH 6 Posted September 4 I have a couple of questions. Many cars I owned from the 60s, 70s & 80s had the same approach to sound deadening - self-adhesive bitumen pads stuck on the floor, typically covering the front and rear passenger footwells. As I strip out this Inca shell, I find it has two tiny pads, in just the front footwells. Does anyone know why they bothered with such tiny pads? I have removed the black film from the 'B' pillars as I need to do a small welded repair behind the window rubber. I pulled off the film, it came off fairly well but left behind a tacky residue. I have tried to remove the glue using my trusty solvents (in order of harshness) - White Spirit, Methylated Spirit, Acetone, Petrol and Cellulose Thinners. The glue has laughed at all of them... Any suggestions? Can I assume the original paint is an acrylic paint, I.e, not cellulose based? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leslie green 104 Posted September 4 (edited) The tiny pads are only there to block up 3 large holes in the chassis rails . The residue sounds similar to the stuff duck tape leaves if left on a while and is almost impossible to remove ,petrol softens it long enough to try and rub it off or if repainting it id scotchbrite it off . You can get sticky label remover but never used it so can't say if its any good for what you want. Edited September 4 by Leslie green 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArthurH 6 Posted September 5 Thanks Leslie, I guess I was going to discover this when I removed them, but I left them for the photo I'll re-cover the holes after spraying with something much lighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
