    Default Help! There's a sheep stuck inside my roof! (headlining removal woes)

    So I decided tonight that rollcages & headlinings don't mix, and stripped the crappy old lining from the roof in my corolla panelvan.

    Problem is, underneath was a sheepskin's worth of sound deadening, which has left behind a bunch of fluffy shit stuck to the inside of the roof panel with a sticky contact glue I assume.

    exhibit A:





    Any great ideas on how to remove the contact glue cleanly from the surface?

    Thanks in advance!

    Got a rotissarie handy? Then dry ice. It works for the floor.

    I've never heard of this kind of thing being stuck onto the roof before tho. Weird

    insulation in the MZ10 roof did same thing - i resorted to attacking parts of it with an aluminum paint scraper whenever I got frustrated with other parts of the car.

    I never thought of doing it upside down ... as the dry ice worked a treat on my floor (and I got to blow up a few 2litre coke bottles with leftover ice)
