Yeah I hate that stuff it is a pain to remove, I used my hands and picked most of it off like that and then I took a rag with mineral spirits and got what was left over. It takes a while, and that is a good idea that the other guy said about using a heat gun I wish I would have tried that.

i used a flathead screwdriver and scraped most of it off. took a while though. then used GOOF OFF to get the rest. worked pretty good. i bet if its really cold outside it might just all chizel off like the sound deadening stuf does.

once you get that stuff off, paint your whole interior flat blck. it will clean it up a lot.

Haha, not wrong, just different methods. I think the Goo Gone idea would work very well, that stuff is strong.

all you need is a razor blade. bend both ends up so that your makin kindof a u shape then use that peak point for cutting. shouldnt take more than 45 minutes for both doors. get the long razor blades tho. thats it

Any pics of anyone actually doing this? Seems questionable to me.
