Anyway, need to remove the carpet glue, will try the HD Citristrip. Any tips on use? Does it need to stay on a while? Then, I assume scrape off the residue?
I'm using POR-15 when completed.

i left the citristrip on for about an hour but i should have left it on longer. it still worked great, but i had to go at the leftover jute with a plastic scraper and my shopvac hose right next to it to get it it all out. if memory serves you can leave it on well over 24 hours, and i would suggest at least overnight to make your job easier. on the smaller/thinner parts i could simply wipe it off clean with a rag after just an hour or two.
don't bother with por15 unless you have completely stripped all the paint off the metal. it needs to be in direct contact with metal or not only will it not do it's job but it will smear/run a lot and not give you a clean smooth surface. a friend of mine coated the entire interior of his 944 race car with it and the result were less than stunning due to the factory paint still being on the metal.
