Sound Dampner Install
Well today I started to work on this. Stripped the trunk. Swept out all the junk.
There you can see what "sound dampner" the factory has installed. I intend to go right over this. Already have at the drivers side...
Heres the trunk lid:
Note you need to make some cuts to relieve the material to get it to stick TIGHT to the metal. If its not tight to the metal its not doing anything for you.
My car has some "goop" on it. I think its the rust protection crap they put on aftermarket... Its like wax...
I used a razor blade to scrape most of it away. Then Brake Cleaner to get it gone. Once clean and dry I use a dewaxing/degrasing agent you use before painting a body panel. Gets all the crap off without cutting the paint like other solvents might.
Heres that same area but clean:

This shit is not for the weak, weary or impatient... Thats for damned sure. Yesterday I worked about 2 hours. Today I worked about 4.
Heres whats underneath the back sides...
Pull those black covers off...
Ouch right? Talk about flimsy metal- nothing there...
Thats a wheel well, behind the rear seat. Mat that thing up GOOD.
Wheel well inside that pocket:
Rear deck. Its flimsy as hell... mat it up!
Cabin:
Now to do the drivers side rear and the rear deck. Still got the roof, doors and front wheel wells...
So far I used my partial roll and one full roll in the trunk. Im on my 2nd (of 3) full rolls... Just started with it.

Ya man. I can see sinking in about 12 hours of life in getting this done right.
About to go work some more... weee.... not...
I gotta get that other side done up and get the roof tore apart.

i've removed all that before... on a whim. but that last comment is worthy, regardless.
i just always have trouble removing the C pillar panels and the back deck. i really gotta figure out how those come off, one of these days.

i'd imagine the roof isn't all that hard to do.... just getting the stuff down is a pain.

I can say from experience, doing the inside of the doors is a royal PITA. Drivers door is done, and I've got another 20 minutes or so left on the passenger door. I started with the doors on mine, so moving forward things should get easier for me hopefully.
