DIY: Sound Insulation Removal

[Samurai_Blue]

This DIY is for anyone trying to remove the sound insulation in their car. For weight or whatever you want it gone for.

NOTE: Club Integra nor I am responsible for you doing damage to you or your car.

Materials Needed
rubber mallet
paint scraper
bag
dry ice (i suggest at least 7-8 lb for the rear seats back)
screw driver
gloves

NOTE: USE GLOVES WITH DRY ICE IT WILL BURN YOU

Step one:

gut your car take out all the pannels in your car to expose everything. If you have an X bar, take it out too, strong bar is fine to keep in.

Step 2
place dry ice on black tar it will hiss and it will creak, that means its shrinking and coming unglued. Leave it for a few minutes and let it work.

Step 3
Use the scraper or the mallet to start getting pieces of it off

Step 4
i used a bag and a weight to hold the ice over the vertical and curved bits

Step 5
Keep at it :thumbs up just keep repeating eveything, you want pieces to come up in big big big chunks

Hmmm that's interesting. Glad mine came up easy with a paint scraper. It was all cracked and 80% of it was already hanging off.

Nice DIY!!!

paint scraper works really well its just that the entire thing is easier with a hammer bigger chunks fall off aroung the curved bits

Wouldn't your trunk be filled with invisible co2 and you will inhale it when you working on it?
