I ripped my nova headlining down, was just sound deadening. Didn't weigh all that much tbh and left a nasty sticky mess on the roof where it had been glued up.

You need a blowtorch to soften the bitumen pads, then when they're hot, scrape them off with a wallpaper scaper. |The last traces can be removed with a brillo pad and paint thinners. I stripped all the sound deadening sh1t from my shell - a horrible job, but looks good in the end.

im lost as to what you mean?

Panels under the roof lining?

ak

in your pics your can see them in the rear 1/4 panels, it the same stuff as this, but about a4 size and stuck to the middle of the roof

i think it is to keep some type of intergral strength in the middle of the roof but im guessing
