Question I am removing my INGs FACE DUCTS today, please advise on process!

I am removing them only to put them back on, I didn't install them properly the first time (put the adhesive too far back so the front isn't flush)

Any advice on removal? My biggest fear would be cracking it, I have a GRIP of 3M adhesive on there too =T

I was figuring just use a hairdryer and go slowly?

It is fiberglass so go by ONEmike's recommendation. If you have a heat gun, it'll make everything go so much faster because heating up something that large with blow dryer would be big PITA.

LOL, yeah, the acid would eat up the glue

Acutally a blow dryer does a decent job of heating it up. I had to use a blow dryer to heat it up to help reshape it to fit with my molded lip. I'd say, hit it with a blow dryer or heat gun, and just slowly take it out. Work your way from one side to the other. I'd probably try and remove the botom first, and the top afterwards... all because of the angle. Good luck, and be careful
