Dreaded foam removal
Hi
Does anyone know of any way to remove the horrible foam that VW stuck in later Beetles? Does anything dissolve it short of a nuclear blast.

Hi Barls

it goes out eventually but you may want some one in side to keep the flame under control with a spray bottle of water

Try some acetone or paint thinners... it will disolve the glue...
Other than that hook into it with a strong bit of hook wire remove the headliner will make it easier.

Easy! Pull it out through the rust holes it causes in the rear roof...
(No idea, apart from a flame and coathanger)
