I took down my headliner cardboard today and end up in a cloud of vaporized brown dust that I assume was some sort of felt padding. Freaking nasty. Now on to removing that foam from the cardboard.

Yeah, that stuff is nasty. I ended up using the peel and stick insulation (like dynomat) on the underside of my roof. I did my headliner myself. Came out nice.

That looks really awesome. I bought the peel and stick also. I'm carefully peeling off the foam now off the cardboard.

You wouldn't have this problem if you'd bought a convertible. You're in FL, @rotorhead22, and it's starting to be perfect top down weather.

I miss my vert this time of year.
I know where it's at, maybe I'll stop over and 'take' it for a ride.
Don't tell anybody

I know right. The humidity level dropped over the past couple days to allow me to dye my interior plastic and dry without issues. I do have an angle grinder with a metal cutting disk however I just replaced the window motors

Peeling the foam off the cardboard is not really something you need to do carefully. I took mine off with a wire wheel on a drill.

That’s what I’ve been thinking. I will get back to it with a fiber wheel I have. I stopped on the head liner over the past couple of days to take advantage of the low humidity to dye/ paint the interior panels

Those panels look nice. I stripped my headliner foam with the wire wheel in my driveway. By the time I was done it looked like it had snowed...in Hawaii....

The lawnmower might be overkill. Try scissors first.

Yeah on second thought you’re right. Kind of nerve-racking trying to keep the wrinkles out

So that’s the something new I learned for the day. I thought the warm ocean currents would offset any cold from elevation.

Does It Snow In Hawaii?

Certain parts of the US state of Hawaii, particularly the tall volcanoes, do receive snow.

A few years back it made the news that all 50 states snow on them. I remember when it snowed in Miami when I was a kid.
