Rear Cargo Panel Mods

[workmeistr]

I used RAAMAT and their foam sound insulation when I had the panels off to do rear speakers. Their foam sound deadoner wasn't self adhesive, at least not up to a couple years ago. I still have two cans of their spray adhesive left I used to attach the foam sound deadoning to the mats. Do the roof while you're at it. It's just a few more screws to drop the roof. Wherever there is a clip attaching the side panels to the metal, cut a silver dollar sized circle out of the RAAMAT so that the sides can sit flush against the metal, though I didn't cut the foam back, which provides a bit of rattle control as it's compressed between the side panels and the metal. I also installed the rear dome light while doing this job. Good luck. Have Goof Off ready to clean the scissors or knife you'll cut the RAAMAT with; it'll get pretty gunked up with the tar material.

Here's two detailed threads and How To on sound dampening.

I, too, did door panels about 3 years ago using the Ensolite. I still have about 25sq ft of it w/out adhesive, along w/spray adhesive. Planning on doing the door panels with those shortly. However, I ordered some a few weeks ago for a little project I'm working on, and it comes 1) in sections now, no more cut offs from the roll and 2) it is adhesive backed.

All this is great info, thanks for responding.
Looks like I will go with the RAAMmat/Ensolite path.

But damn, looks like lots of hours for this project!
I Will have to schedule another Vaca for this, lol.
