Default Re: deadening car to reduce road noise

i would say problematic areas will be your whole hatch the stoplight and the spoiler area.

also i would do the top ledge where the intrax stickers are and the plastic panels on the rear quarter window.

another area is the plastic panel on the rear corners of the car the top panels that are big and curved.

on plastic panels this is what i did.

i removed the panel and on the back their is some stock carpeting to reduce road noise.

remove that carpet carefully as you will reuse it but keep in mind it is glued so it is a pain to deal with. use some sort of strong chemical remover type liquid i used duplicolor wax and grease remover to prep the car body for paint. you can get it at o'reilly.

once you get the surfaced totally clean and removed of glue then add some deadener where the carpet goes and lay that down. then i cut out some closed cell acoustical foam called ensolite and glued it down with spray adhesive and then used spray adhesive on the stock carpet and attach to the ensolite. the panels is now solid and does not buzz and you can tell a noticeable difference.

www.raamaudio.com (they have deadener, spray adhesive and ensolite)


if you have left over you can do the differential area, tire wells, exhaust, and the spare jack area.
