Duster Center Console - how to remove old carpet adhesive?
sand it - it's been there for 50 years and is rock hard. Never use adhesive again! 4spdragtop put me on to using industrial grade Velcro, which I found at ACE hardware. When you want it out of the way to tighten or adjust linkage or deal with electrical stuff in the console just zip it off and press it back on when done. no muss, no fuss. It looks great and never shifts around even when you drive the car a lot. Even for installation you can get the carpet just right on a bench, pull it off to put the console in and then just press it in place when you are done.
