Ok, Rooster has another question, what's the best way to remove a fiberglass patch?

Ok, the guy who had my car before me fiberglassed the trunk floor instead of dropping in a new trunk floor. I need to replace the cross rails and I want to fix the trunk floor. Is there a east trick out there to remove the fiberglass, or am I going to have to cut it all out and grind down edges?

Just curious.
Thanks,in advance Kevin.

Start grinding and sanding. Depending on what they used for fiberglass, aircraft stripper may soften it.

If the floor was glassed, cut it out to replace with a new metal pan.

Thanks, looks like I have some cutting to do I know AMD makes the pan and support rails.

There are less abrasive ways.

However, if the original floor was rusty, there's a chance that the fiberglass never got a good adhesion in the first place. I 'glassed my trunk floor in the 1970's, and twenty years later I removed it. It just pulled out, hardly sticking to what was left of the metal. It still had the shape of the floor pan though.

Thanks everyone for your input.
