Supplies arrived yesterday so been working on installing all the foam today. Has taken about 6 hours to do, but still not done. At first all I wanted to do was get rid of the rattles from all the door panels, but since I was goign to have to take apart the interior anyway, I thought I may as well go all-out. I didn't want to go the dynamat route so been searching the forums to get a couple of ideas and this is what I came up with...
Materials:
4 sheets of 1-1/2 inch foam 24x18" (1 for each door)
3 sheets of 2-1/2 inch foam 24x18" (back hatch and rear quarter panels)
6 cans of Great Stuff Gaps and cracks (For all the pillars and hard to reach places)
1 can Spray Adhesive
6 cans of rubber undercoat (to stop plastic-on-metal rattle)
Pictures:
Finishing up undercoating the final door panel
Put in speaker baffles
Filled around the rear glass with expanding foam and put foam sheets in hatch.
The C and D Pillars are filled with expanding foam, still need to do B pillar, maybe A too.
Not sure how much rubber undercoating will help since Ive got sheets of foam under the door, but thought I might as well use it up.
Going to get 4 more cans of great stuff and finish up the pillars, Have not been on the road with it yet, but after turning on my system I noticed a major improvement in bass response...and NO RATTLES!! I just hope I can get all the panels back on as thick as this foam is.
I would love to get some foam behind the dash but not sure if its worth taking apart?
What does everyone think? Anything more I should add???
