Don't go with dynamat its over priced. Go to home depot and go to the roofing section and get quick roof. I used 1/3 of a roll. Get a utility knife and a few blades to cut it.
I pulled the carpet out of the car and went around the floor plan and knocked around adding pieces here and there. Then I went to the carpet padding area in home depot and bought the 1/2 carpet padding with the blue stuff on it. Point the blue stuff up so if you spill crap it won't dissolve the carpet padding. Usually you can't use regular carpet padding because it dissolves (according to auto upholstery books) when auto chemicals are spilled on it. The blue stuff is a barrier to prevent that from happening at least that's what it advertises in the store and what I hope. I formed templates and cut new padding for the entire front half of the car. Then I placed the carpet back and the oem padding. It was hard to get ahold of fiber padding. It made a big difference. I only did it because i was pulling the carpet out anyways to rent an upholstery cleaner form home depot to get dog smell and anything else out. It works great for cars. I did the seats and all. Though the door seals are in good condition. I find now that air noise is the biggest problem. Though drafts are not really an issue. |
