RisingPower Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 To the trunk and rear wheel wells, reasonable improvement on road noise and general deadness Now, I was thinking either second skin luxury liner pro on top of the tyre cover or actually on the rear trunk, not quite sure where is best but I'm guessing it may be a bit heavy for the tyre cover. Which got me thinking, presumably, carpet is a pretty good barrier for sound, since the standard boot mat is thin as anything, what about lying some carpet underneath it? Seen mention that felt underlay is good, but which do you guys reckon is worth trying more? Bit of underlay underneath the z boot mat or thicker carpet? Or maybe even both... Cheers Quote
Stew Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 A nice bit of amtico with a border might look nice...... Quote
Husky Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 have you only got the one mat in the boot? Quote
RisingPower Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 have you only got the one mat in the boot? Yeah, the thin carpet z mat over the plastic tyre cover mat. Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I think you have the cheapo thin boot mat.... mine is quite thick Just get one of these Quote

RisingPower Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Oh hells yeah Does it come with a comb? Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 It would serve 2 purposes, you want a new interior AND you want sound deadening.... simples Quote
RisingPower Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Ooooo ikarus, I see you're browsing, how much luxury liner did you put in your doors? Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 BTW dave, is it his car? HM Husky's Mother ? Quote
Husky Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 have a look at the first picture here, you can see the thick boot mat that goes over the crappy thin one. viewtopic.php?f=156&t=41851&hilit=strut+lighting Quote

RisingPower Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 yeah, there are two carpets in mine. one thin crappy one and that thicker one ontop Hmmm, interesting. Does it make much difference with road noise? Quote

RisingPower Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 if it did, i made it worse by removing the spare and adding massive rear wheels There anything where the spare sits now? Quote
