Okay I was pulling my interior to install my new dash & backpad. Down by my seat hinge I see some rust around the hinge mount. It was between the sound deadening factory stuff & the mount. It started around the mount & worked it's way across. I had one tiny hole through & some spots if it hadn't been seen would have gone through. Another gift from my car sitting outside at the wrench who screwed me a while back. He just keeps giving & giving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) .
So I scraped all the sound deadening off on the rear drivers side pan. I treated it with some rust stuff I have. Tonight I scraped off most the front sound deadening. It was great with the exception of a little more around the pedal. I can tell it is just surface rust but it is coming out. I plan to use bedliner to redo the floor. Then I am going to paint it L80E to match my car. Here are a few pics to check out of the area mostly scraped up. I haven't started on the passenger side but if it has the same issue I will get some before pics. What have you used to replace the sound deadening (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached image(s)

I'm going to test some bedliner product tonight on a piece of old firewall. Once it dries I will paint it & see what I think.
If I like it? I am going to use the bedliner from the ledge down to the floor. I like bedliner for sealing up the floor. The tar mat may be a better sound deadening product. I may even use the tar mat on top of that afterword. In which case I may just order the 2 front pieces of the stock stuff. Just kind of in a hurry to finish the floor. Getting something shipped in a timely manner can be a problem. |

QUOTE(JRust @ Oct 27 2011, 12:00 PM)  Getting something shipped in a timely manner can be a problem. By far the quickest way would be to just clean the floor and paint it (Properly i might add) and then lay down some dynamat or similar product and put the carpet over that. You can use some double sided tape to fix the dynamat either to the floor or even just to the backside of the carpet. Quick and effective and it doesn't leave the new owner with the crappy redneck bedliner surface that he'll never be able to clean. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
