Even with dry ice on a 40 degree day (doesn't get much colder any more) mine came out in 4x4 chunks, and the sheetmetal still shows where the hammer fell.

Anybody weigh that crap after you get it out? Is it that heavy?

We weighed as much stuff as we could...



The tar by itself was probably about 10lbs... we ditched about 70-80lbs total from the interior thus far...maybe more since we havent weighed the stock seats yet...

Mine's in the 30-40lb range, and I still have some in the hatch area to get rid of.

Wow, I am surprised that it had that much. Was that out of the GSL-SE?

40lbs seems a stretch, but it may depend on year/make/model.. i think i was low on my estimate...i talked to some of the guys helping me, we're gonna go w/ 25lbs of tar total...

Well, dry ice is great, but living in Canada has it's upsides, it was like 28 degrees F and it took me 30 minutes start to finish, in the FC, I would say that it's close to 50lbs, that includes the tar, and the fabric sound deadning crap.

The FCs have less tar from my experiences too...
