Stripped the interior out of my sons Dart to replace the headliner and would like to pull the carpet at this time to lay down some insulation. I've heard some people using something from Home Depot. Anyone know?
Thanks, that's the info I needed!!
Man, that looks sweet! did you use a spray adhesive to stick that down?
Yes but be sure to use the heavy duty stuff.Man, that looks sweet! did you use a spray adhesive to stick that down?
The insulation that's mostly air with foil on the outside won't do anything to prevent sound, it's thermal insulation.
If you want to quiet down the car you want dense foam type insulation. The kind I got has foil on 1 side.
The kind linked in this thread is just pure thermal insulation, the description doesn't even mention noise. I guess if you're afraid of heat/cold going through the floorboards it would be useful, but other than that it's not doing anything for you. The main concern should be sound, in which that insulation won't help at all.
I'll check that out tooPeel & Seal from Lowes. I did a blown Camaro with it and when the windows are up I can barely hear the motor! That car idles at 97db with the windows down. Using it on the Duster now.
I only did the headliner area and the floor back to the rear seat. Really dont know if it makes a difference to be honest. No a/c, windows are down most the time, loud exhaust and if the windows are up there is wind noise no matter how many hours spent adjusting window gaps and door seals etc..Have you had yours on the road yet? I'm now a little concerned about actual sound deadening capabilities of this stuff.
