Alright guys, I decided to tackle a project similar to what a member on here did by getting rid of some noise with a carpeting material. I'm attempting the same thing, except with my door panels and rear panels. I went to Home Depot and bought a 6'x9' roll of carpet padding for $30, along with a can of 3M rubber and vinyl spray adhesive. I already tried to deaden the sound a bit by using some extra Dynamat I had, but it didn't help much at all. Spray the door panel on the areas where you will be placing the padding, then rip pieces to the size of your choice and place accordingly. WARNING: You might want to let these panels sit overnight, because the smell isn't too pleasant.
Pics of the materials: Starting door panel: Door panel finished: After I get everything finished I'll let you guys know how well this worked. I spent $40 in materials with tax, so it would be a pretty cheap solution to getting rid of some exterior road noise. Not the prettiest solution, but I feel it should help out greatly. -Matt |

Those are next some point in the next week. You did not have any issues getting the headliner back on with a layer of frost king? I was slightly worried that it would not want to mount back up. -------------------- |

I want to do the headliner, but I'm afraid of fitment (plus if I'm removing it, I might as well find one in black to replace it with). If anyone has done this, please chime in. -TC -------------------- Live your life for yourself. Don't hold back for anything or anyone.
