The foam stuff is nearly all out, that got ripped up 
The other stuff does seem to be a coont 
When you said it will just rip up & thought you meant the heater jobby
I want to get the heater out first before I get rid of the sound deadening

sound deadenin is an arse to remove. best way i found is sharp thin paint scrapper and a hot air gun, and then using tar and glue remover to remove the remains, look in my garage for pics
