I'm tired of my top reverberating noise like a concert hall..
So, I dug out my old sound insulation for my beetle... clean it off, vacuum it and grab the 3M spray adhesive... I also got a sheet of cloth (polyester??) that's got some 3M super-adhesive backing. It's white but can be colored easily. I'll see how it sounds in comparison tomorrow on the freeway. Pics coming soon. |

Notes:
This is not a weight-reducing change. If anything it will add 1-2lbs to your targa top. If you remove the vinyl trim pieces though it should make up for that. Also, your results may vary. This is better than the stock piece of felt that is on the top, though. It should also reduce some of the reverberation in the cab from the engine since the top will ABSORB the vibrations and sound instead of resonating it. |
