M1151A1 Interior Roof Adhesive Removal (or Not)?

[HoveringHMMWV]

The interior roof insulation was dry rotted and therefore removed by scraping and with a pressure washer. However, the adhesive needs much more attention. So, should I remove with old rags, acetone, and elbow grease or could I just reapply new adhesive over the top? I plan on repalcing with original OEM insulation panels. Thnx in advance.

I would remove what is there or it might not adhere for long, and especially if the truck sits in the sun.

Try lighter fluid on it as in Zippo type lighters. I have used lighter fluid to remove adhesive for many many years and in most cases it can't be beat.

Oh and just to clarify, the lighter fluid softens up the adhesive to scrape off, DO NOT LIGHT IT ON FIRE. I mean, I'm sure that would work too but DON'T DO IT. The label even says it can be used to remove adhesive or labels as one of its uses.
