HAHAHA Well why do you think I tried this? It was A PAIN in the arse to pull it off. I have no idea if it takes 24 hrs thats just how long I waited. Plus theres NO work involved. The carpet pretty much comes off it self. You wash the lid and its just like it was from the factory before they sprayed the glue. But hey different strokes for different folks. This is just worked for me.
