Alice and The Festicle

[Sid_RallyX_82]

Got the rear glass out. Just lay it down somewhere soft, press on one corner with your boot and pull up on the metal, then work the rubber around. I used my plastic trim tool set. I knew it would be more handy than advertised

Trying to scrape off the factory insulation. This crap is a lot tougher than I expected. Soaking it with acetone helped a little bit, but there must be an easier way to do this...

Heat gun/hair dryer?
Thin putty knife like you use for drywall.
Blow compressed air underneath.
Air chisel....

Have you done it like that before? Not gonna use an air chisel. I want this floor pan to stay straight

[ryanprins13]

Yes, but mine came off super easy, i just pulled it up by hand and a shop vac, no tools. Probably to do with the climate...
The air chisel was a bit of a joke. I couldnt think of the name of the tool i was thinking of. Made by dremel. Multimax or something? Basically a vibrating sharpened putty knife.

Oh, like an oscillating blade or something?

In case anyone else needs to know, this little pin has a clip around it

WD40, gently work it back and forth with a small hammer, and it will pop out. Catch it when it does. I almost lost mine
Does anyone know if there is a place to buy a new rubber guide that goes around the roll up windows?

[Sid_RallyX_82]

What's up with this clear(ish) plastic piece on the door pillar? Is it just supposed to block air flow or something?image.jpg

Yes. I saw an advertisement a long time ago where they were removing tiles with one. I think its this.

Fourgreen iirc. Thats where i plan to try to order mine from.

Airflow, but mostly dust. I just used vapor barrier and tuc tape. i just used foil tape over smaller holes.

I got rid of all the stock vapor barriers.
I used Cosella-Dorken vapor barrier.
It's sexy + it reflects cold or heat inward.
I just ran a bead of removable draft sealant around the perimeter and stuck it on.

I did an entire room on top of a garage with this stuff.
Before I put the blueboard on, it felt like stepping inside a flying saucer.

[Sid_RallyX_82]

I don't think a tool like that will go very neatly through all the ridges and valleys... so I'll keep looking for another method.
I like the simplicity of dumping the factory crap and starting over.

So I can find later:
2001 Rio Strut Mounts

[Sid_RallyX_82]

Aside from pulling a factory strut mount from a scrap car at the yard, would you guys recommend any particular brand or is This Cheapy from O'reilly good enough?

[firebush357]

I have only tried one brand which were the cheapest I could find on Ebay and they are still working over a year later.
