Removing deadening sucks balls

...now I wish I would have bought cheap shit instead of dynamat extreme and damplifier pro that sticks really good. I've never once cut my hands installing deadening, now I've cut the shit outta my hands trying to remove it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Going to put my truck up for sale soon. Removing some off the doors to open up the access holes again so the future buyer won't have to do that if anything needs fixin down the road. New f150's are notorious for power window problems so figured I wouldn't leave a mess for somebody if they needed to do work in the future.

Had to remove some from the backwall as well to reinstall the cab vents on the back wall.

I'm going to have to try that, I still have one door to do, and one cab vent to replace. Waiting for it to cool down some outside, the stuff seems to like coming off better and is less messy in cooler temps.

stuff is coming off cleaner when its colder, the hotter it is the messier it is.

I like the truck too, but its time for something a little smaller and a little quicker.

It's butyl rubber. I'm kinda wondering if there isn't some chemical you could pour on it and have it lose it's stickyness. Probably would kill you and your car though.

Who am I kidding? I have deadening in my car, there's no easy way around this.

I can definitely tell spots I applied the deadener well and spots I didn't as I'm removing it. I have some chunks that just peel right up clean and others that are stuck so good the foil rips clean off the deadener and all the butyl stays stuck to the truck....its my favorite when that happens //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif
