DO NOT SCRAPE IT!!!! Happened to a buddy when we lived at Lake Louise. As we were scraping it, it tore all of the vinyl, headliner and cloth upholstery we touched. The car was a 6 week old Subaru and we did a couple of grand worth of damage. He never did fix it, as it was too expensive.CaptSmethwick wrote: ↑ Sorry for your trouble. Scrape into a bucket and vacuum as much as you can when it's still solid. For the rest, heat and wipe as you go. If you have a portable steamer, that's the way to go. If you can remove the carpeting from your trunk, get it into a warm place and hose it down, let it dry, and re-install.
Fair clarification and, by all means use your judgement and by scrape I meant more like squeegee with something that won't damage the headlinersmacd wrote: ↑ DO NOT SCRAPE IT!!!!

We used window scrapers and the damage wasn't apparent until days later when temperatures moderated. Fortunately, most of the damage was in the back seat, where the six pack of Coke was. All six cans exploded and covered the entire back with 1-2 inches of frozen foam.CaptSmethwick wrote: ↑ Fair clarification and, by all means use your judgement and by scrape I meant more like squeegee with something that won't damage the headliner
You run the risk of ripping off or damaging the liner.engineered wrote: ↑ If it's still frozen, don't heat it up, vacuum as much as you can and clean up any remaining residue with a gentle cleaner.
Ahh, I missed the part about the headliner and though it was just on the seats. Other answers make more sense now.
Headliner is thousands of dollars or did you guys get it into electronics.smacd wrote: ↑ DO NOT SCRAPE IT!!!! Happened to a buddy when we lived at Lake Louise.
