Rear end upholstry

[area53 at validpath.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

The adhesive will come off with 3M Adhesive remover (primary ingredient is 
Xylene (which is nasty stuff)). Depending on how worried you are about the 
condition of the paint underneath afterwards, you can use an array of utensils 
to accelerate the removal process. Most aggressive/least destructive is a 
toothbrush. A small high-grade rubber hose will work too.
