Default How to remove dynamat effectively

Previous owner of my car went over kill with dynamat. I for one, prefer to have the car without it. What the hell is the easiest way to get it out of the car

You can try to scrape it off with a scraper, but that will scratch the paint. Why are you removing it by the way...just wondering.

The car came with a major sound system installed (3 10" woofers in a spare tire box, fully amped speakers, wires upon wires upon wires, Dynamat everywhere) Its all adds up in weight. I am building this car to be a autocross car. I'm satisfied with premium set of speakers.

Heat gun and a scraper.

All you can hope for is the last owner did a shitty Dynamat install, didn't clean surfaces properly. 94

Dry ice works on the OEM "spray on" dampening but it is no help with Dynamat.

Do not over-heat the Dynamat when removing it, too much heat will just make it harder, [more work] to remove. 94

Do they still sell adjustable temp heat guns? I would try one of those and attempt to dial in the perfect temp for removing the gunk.

How bad or should I say how good of a job did the previous owner or installer do? If its something like I did my escalade or navigator. Your better off selling the car and start fresh. You might damage the the outside paint of the car or cause a dent taking it off.
