Good luck with it. I used 3M headliner adhesive with good results. I'm sure that there are quite a few adhesives that will work. I'll have to try the brake cleaner, maybe it will work better than adhesive remover. The guys at Carlisle can verify my results, with the exception of the color, (I went with a dark silver), it looks as good as stock. Anyway, I hope it comes out good.
