My weekend project is to remove the backpad and rubber pad behind it. So far so good - the two combined weight 26 lbs! I'm going to put down some Dynamat Extreme and then lay a Morph carpet kit over the top.
One question. Do I need to remove all of the glue that is stuck to the firewall from the original pad, or do you think I can just lay the Dynamat over it? What should I use? So far I've tried Goof Off and a razor blade scrapper, but that's going to take a while and I already have a buzz going (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s)

Well, here is an update to what has turned into my multi weekend project (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . The Dynamat is in. It ended up taking two wedge packs to cover the area behind each seat. I'm already in for $100 in Dynamat, so I decided not to do the center area.
A tip for anyone planning on doing this. It is recommended to leave the Dynamat in the sun for 15 minutes before you apply it to make it easier to work with. Since we didn't have any sun today, I used a hair dryer. I heated up a little section at a time and used the wooden roller to press it on. Now back into the garage to put the driver's side seat and harness in, and the passenger side seat belt. Has anyone heard from Morph lately? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) We e-mailed once a couple of weeks ago about the price of a firewall carpet kit, and I've sent two e-mails and a PM over the past couple of weeks with no response.

Thats a lot of work John.
Use the 3M stuff when you get to cleaning up the other side of the firewall. I've replaced a lot of door seals, and the 3M stuff is magic. |
