Hey folks. Quite by accident, I've found a new and MUCH easier way to remove sound deadening material. I bought a car to resell, and the PO more or less used this car as a rolling trash can. The carpet was absolutely ruined. After I removed the old carpet, I found a mold colony about 4' long by 1.5' wide on the left side of the car. And I mean this stuff smells horrible! So, how do you remove the mold? It had penetrated the sound deadening material. My idea: soak it in bleach! So I did. I poured about one quart over the stuff and let it sit for an hour. When I got back, quite a bit of it had leaked past the rubber floor plugs, but some remained. I took a stick and scraped it across the top of the material, and it scratched the surface. I dug in with it, and the S.D material pulled RIGHT UP with no effort at all. Well, so did the paint, but that's another story. I'll update this tomorrow after I make sure that there's not actual damage to the floorpan, but I don't expect to find any.
