Default Re: Sound deadening Part 2, Help!!

Thanks for the link! I would never have figured it out myself. I tried dismantling 1 door panel last week and except for the door handle release lever which I couldn't remove and didn't want to force, it was easy.

I'm going to do the sound proofing this weekend on the doors. I chose edead paint over dynamat because there's lots of wires, foam insulation and other things I don't want to mess with. I'll let you know how it goes.

As far has the hatchback area. I did not want to remove the carpet and sides so I stuffed towels and sprayed foam insulation in the wheel well areas. What a mess! I fear what a mistake! The foam expanded out of joint areas and is difficult to clean up. I hope I didn't seal up anything important. For all that It did help a bit. The car is still very loud, but before it was obvious that sound was coming from the rear. Now it's not. Now all I have is "surround" noise so I assume I eliminated a lot of noise from the rear.

Wish me luck. I'll report later if the doors helped.
