I recently lost patience with it and dug out my old knackered angle grinder with a flap sanding disc on it. The result was me rushing out to buy a new angle grinder
I then got the main roof section all cleaned up in about an hour. That’s an hour lying on my back with my neck on the edge of the parcel shelf......holding 3.5 kg of angle grinder above my head..... I hurt today. My car had the factory fitted grey headliner on it, so no separate backing. The original builder used the Fiesta sound deadening on the floor, stuck down with something very sticky and jig-sawed together with carpet tape. Most of it came off with a scraper but I’ll still have to go over it with the sanding disc.

That was 10 years ago and it’s not shown any signs of coming off. Though the car has been inside those 10 years so it’s not had the heat of the sun on it yet. I’ve only recently finished removing the original owners idea of soundproofing, he had used multiple layers of old carpet stuck down with the strongest glue i’ve ever come across. It must have taken me at least a week of work spread across the 10 years to get it all removed with cheisels and scrappers. You may find that a hot air gun will soften the glue and make things easier but not too hot, you don’t want to damage the fibreglass.

The top layer has peeled away so I’m left with the brown stuck to the fibreglass (mostly). Is there some easy way, or is it just a case of scraping and swearing?
