have a 1969 Regatta and the carpet is shot

old glue off of the glass on the inside of
the boat. Something that wont mess with the
glass but will disolve the glue. A lot of
the glue came off with a stiff sharp putty-
knife. I'd like to get it down to the clean
glass.
Thanks, Mac.
when i used to restore corvettes, we used to use lacquer thinner on a rag to clean the fiberglass on the under side back to original. might try a small spot and see if it works.
also i was thinking of replacing mine too, anybody know where you can get shag marine carpeting like the original? i know its kinda old fashion, but its original and i love the feel on my feet, plus its not slippery when wet. mine is ok just faded. any help would be great. thanks guys.
