QUOTE(Mikey914 @ Feb 1 2018, 11:57 AM)  Mine are die cut. As far as water absorption goes - The idea is it will not hold water against the metal if it's not absorbed. The real issue becomes drainage and how much water is in the engine bay and why. With a 6 it's pretty obvious, but remember The problem is more a matter of continued exposure. I do make both rain trays. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) What is the thickness and weight of your pad pictured above?

68 oz with velcro. Nominal 5/8" uncompressed. Slightly thinner than OEM.
I just did the install. Went pretty easily. I'll be posting up another dreadded GB with the insatll tonight late. I have some shipping to help out with today. Mine was naked, but I will remove for Cary to patch the holes I have, Should easily go back in. I used enoough t hold it but didn't go crazy 20" of velcro. I can also include 24" strips with this. I think you will like |

Question: Do you make the NLA large plastic disc fastener (Part # 914 559 377 10) that helps fasten the pad to the firewall? Those usually break when removing the pad so it would be nice to have replacements.

This Dynamat firewall insulation pad almost exactly matches the late 75 76 material and provides superior sound insulation, heat insulation and is waterproof. Die cut and easily installed with trim adhesive. We also include the factory look clips
