Keep in mind that the majority of vehicles on the road come with OEM dampers - although they're not installed throughout the vehicle. Removal of the dampers is rare, but can be done if needed. It involves heat, some elbow grease, then a degreasing style product (even WD40) to remove the residue. Thank you for your interest in B-Quiet. If you have any further questions, please let us know.

So, supposedly it's water tight. But, it doesn't sound like there's an special/easy way to remove the stuff. James V 90 Carat |
