    Removing Glue Residue ???

    How the heck, do I remove the left over glue residue from the Roofliner, and from the felt liner from the back seat... ??

    I've tried thinners, Industrial Cleaner, and even brake fluid... which took the paint off around the glue residue... arggg.

    I just use mineral spirits. It isn't fast, but it is paint safe. There are products available from an auto paint supply shop specifically for removal of glue reside. Those work a bit faster.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        Ok, I'm not really concerned about the paint, as the car is getting a complete respray...

        U think it's ok to use sandpaper on it ? , maybe an orbital sander or belt sander.

              If you aren't worried about the paint...brake cleaner! Use the stuff they can't sell in CA for best results.
