Carpet or rubber ?

(1/2) > >>

Jimbo:
I've finally got all the bits together, so I can start to properly repair the 110 (new roof, rear tub, sides & drivers door). As it's a hard top (and it's gonna stay that way), I'm looking at ways of reducing the internal noise and condensation.

My initial thoughts are to line all the panels (roof and sides) with the sticky rubber 'sound-deadening' pads that are fitted inside most car doors, and then cover the whole thing with car-carpet. Still not decided on what to put on the floor area - maybe more sound deadening pads, and then a ply lining ?

The plan is to stick all the stuff on whilst the panels are still off the vehicle - means I don't have to hang upside down to do the roof  :wink:

Any thoughts ?

Jim

looks like your trying to make a 110 very posh, sound proofing, linings..... hope you manage to succeed. :)

Cant offer any advice, sorry, but will watch the thread with interest cos my lad is going to do similar to his 90 this year

Bush Tucker Man:
My old 110Tdi Hard-Top had sheets of 'closed-cell foam' (very high density) stuck to the side-panels & roof behind the front seats, it was probably about 15mm thick (uncompessed) - it had a front headlining.

It was a very effective means of cutting down on drumming, resonance & condensation.

 :shock:  Posh -nooooooooo !!!!!!

Just want to be able to hear the stereo  :D , and as I might occasionally sleep in the back of it, just fancied a bit more insulation against the cold, and the rain drops drumming on the roof  :roll:
