    What product works to remove this glue residue

    Has anyone found a product to remove the factory glue that was used to hold the insulation carpet underneath the back seats. ?
    Currently driving completely gutted and would like to clean it up a little.

    Well, if I were facing that, I'd start with something kinda mild like WD40 and see how it worked. After that, I'd move up to something more aggressive like goop-off or acetone (albeit sparingly).

    Looks like some elbow grease will be required regardless..

        Some heat might help as well.

            Heat it some, scrap the bulk of it with a plastic scraper. Denatured alcohol dissolves a lot of different adhesives and will not hurt paint with reasonable exposure. Just put some on a rag and go at it.

                  Careful with the goof-off. It will strip paint if used to much or you scrub too hard.

                      In have had excellent luck with this method in the past.
