Cheers guys. Yeah no3 unfortunately once I started with the multitool I really got into it. Consequently, the old liner is in about 20 pieces of varying size and shape. But I'll definitely look out for a second hand one. Thanks m101a1, great idea about marking up the new liner with where the ribs on the deck are, gonna do that.
And now...behold!

Haha, was real easy in the end. Sat there thinking about ways to slowly lift it on all sides and then gently gently lift it off...then proceeded to just get in there, stick my back up into the roof and stand up. The thing came off piece of cake! Gonna deal to canopy tomorrow.
Final update: And that's a wrap, folks. Liner pulled away from the canopy easy as, used heat gun as several of you suggested and just worked my way around pulling it off. De-solve made short work of the rest (shoutout to gonetropo!). I suspect it was some kind of silicone afterall because the citrus cleaner really ate it up (by the way, where on earth has de-solve it been all my life???). Thanks again everyone for your help and input, honestly I googled this issue for ages but within a day you guys had me away laughing. This forum is full of top notch crafty buggers! Cheers NZHS :thumbsup:

Found out about desolve it when getting dressings removed from my head after plastic surgery in the burns unit in lower hutt , awesome stuff and cheap fromm bunnings .
You would of smelled lovely & citrusey
Thats really annoying - some of the liners have ribs that run the same way as the tray (lengthways) which is great for getting things like water out, but if there are different numbers of ribs in a couple of places on the liner it's fully unsupported by the metal underneath. I stuffed a lease ute's liner like that once, got told to go and pick up a doohickey with six feet on the bottom. You guessed it, they sat right over the two parts of the liner that weren't on a rib underneath. The lease outfit really didn't appreciate that, they also did not take my explanation on the lease return damage report that well either (defective product, design and material failure and not my/our problem as it was a light object and it's a ute that was built for that exact purpose).Quote:
