Sound proofing - is mine missing?

Post by Dangerous-Dave » Sun Jun 30, 2013 8:43 am

Morning, now that the first day of enthusiastic ownership is out of the way, there are a few things that I need to take car of - see gear knob in separate post.

Having a look around the car I noticed that there is no sound proofing under the bonnet. Is mine missing or is it not meant to be there?

Thanks all

DD

Good news :thumbsup: There wasn't any on my ClubSport but thought it worth checking.

I've put some under the rear carpets now which makes a surprising difference, now to track down some of the rattles :?

Interesting.

Keep us posted on further sound proofing areas. I have a couple of annoying rattles coming from the passenger side that I need to try and eliminate at some point! :roll:

You don't really notice them when the roof is down though.

Had similiar concerns on the bonnet sound proofing when I picked up mine. :wink:

Cheers.

Mine rattles like you wouldn't believe!! Rear roll hoops and windbreak the drivers side a pillar cover both doors and on and on and on. I should pull my finger out and fix some!!
My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!
