Stupid question I know but when I had my OEM rear bumper off the car for some time, the place that did my audio install put some Dynamat behind the license plate so it wouldnt rattle
I tried taking it off.
I tried heating it up and that didnt help

I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove it quickly
reason being is when I strip down my interior I have to get rid of the stuff

TIA

 

Hmm...where is the dynamat located...on the bare metal itself?
or on the plate? You were'nt real clear with that one.
Anyway the only way i could see getting it off ( keep in mind
its designed to mold to a surface) is to get some dry ice and break
it up and cover the area,let marinate for a moment,get a chisel and a
BMF Hammer and go to town.

Oh and for the record...if you value your hearing,wear earplugs
if you strip the car...If you can imagine a loud buzz bomb..t leaving the
dynamat you have in there might not be such a bad idea...

 

sorry I wasnt clear about that
Its on the door panels, roof, trunk, trunk lid and thats it I think

if i strip the car then the dynamat will be showing...that would look a bit funny

 

why not just place some thin carpeting over it or give it a quick rattle can paint job

The difference of driving around all squeeky from the road and rattling from the system to when I installed 1/2" foam under everything to avoid contact was like night and day.

Unbelievable, id keep it for sure but if youre really trying to save weight Id doubt youd be keeping your system

 

dynamat isnt as heavy compared to the system itself...Trust me, you take it off, you will HATE having your system because of the road noise and rattling...Keep it on

 

when I strip the interior the system is coming out too

I went to the place that installed my system and they said it just takes time...lots of heat from the heat gun and a scraper

 

heat gun and razorblades - it also depends on what kind of dynamat - original is easy - xtreme isn't so easy.

I'd be very careful with the heat gun - you don't want to bubble or discolor your paint on the other side of the panel!! Personally, I'd leave it in there, but that's me.

 

heat works well for original, cold works well for xtreme. i have been there and it was a PITA as i learned these 2 things too late. it took me nearly 30 hours to remove the dynamat from my car (trunk area)

 

goodluck man your going to need it.

 

i say if youre going to strip the system out then **** on the dynamat, use your fingernails, then get a dog to scratch down on it like he's digging for bones!!

 

^^^??? huh ???

 

The most effective way to remove Dynamat or other similar products is to go buy a fiew pounds of dry ice, chunk it up and put it on the dynamat to freeze it. Then it will come off in nice large chunks. Heating it up only causes messes.
