I just removed the vinyl from the dash and now i have that thin foam on the plastic some of it peeled off. the rest is on there really good i tried so far a blade and a steam jet thinking the glue would soften up ..nope! the blade works but man its a slow going deal any how too's thats faster ? thanks a head of time!

mine took forever...
but i did a stoopid idea (that i dont recommend)
i put lighter fluid and lit that sum bish up
just for a few...left it all char'd
then just scraped off..and viola!
it was off
dont know why i did that, but it worked for me
but i wish i would know a faster way too
good luck bro
LOL thats pure jokes!! I'm just the type to try that however i'm in the apartment and i think that would be no. no! then again the fire dept, is just down the street?? hmmmm naaaa but stick to shaving it down ....i'm think about paint stripper or thinners? it might eat the glue ? love that blue color on your car thanks.. well let everyone know what works best

Get yourself a small propane torch.
jacob.
i never said i did it in-doors
LOL. Ozzie, you are great.
Knowing me, I would try it just to see what happens.
Heat gun...putty knife....chisel.....60 or 80 grit sand paper. Heat it up and start scraping and sanding. Took me about 30 minutes
well i tried using 40 grit and 80 but remembered that i had a dremel at the bottom of my tool box i used a fine wired spinner wheel and it works great it took me 15 mins to eat it up. wholie crap all the cracks in the dash! i guess if you have a drill with a wire wheel that would be the best way are a torch if your out doors yeah oven cleaner doesn't work it eats the plastic before the foam! cheers!

I got the viynal and foam of this weekend. I took a sharp utility knife ( known by the FAA as box cutters) and started by cutting a deep "x" into the viynal, penitrating the foam. I then took the knife and inserted it underneth the foam and lifted. I was able to peel the vynial and foam all the way off. I should have taken pics but didn't think of it.
yours must of just peeled off nicely mine was welded!!! lol well my foam is all off i drilled my holes and now i have to reinforce my cracked airbag area and vent i think i'm going to drop my glass in three places side by side instead of one big sheet

I'm gonna do a little plastic welding to fix the cracks in the plastic around the defrost vent and sand it smooth.
