well today was productive started out like this back door was fully covered in carpet
so time to rip it all off and do it properly
all glue cleaned off took ages but came up very well then re covered the rear panel instead and re fitted it back onto the door
and the other door done aswell

holts tar and glue remover i sprayed that on first let it dwell for a bit then used and old card to scrap the heavy stuff off did this about 3 times on both doors then used a microfiber cloth and some petrol to get the remaining glue off

the trick is too spray a heavy coat on and leave it soak in to the glue its tedious but it does work ive found the holts tar and glue stuff is good the more watery tar and glue remover tend to dry way to fast
