Floor sound deadener panels
« on: March 27, 2017, 01:00:29 PM »
I've got one good pattern piece for the rear floor sound deadener panels, and a photo (attached).

I have nothing on the fronts.

Anyone have a photo showing how much of the front floors were covered with these panels?

What's left in my car isn't perfect, but photos are attached if they're of any use. It went all the way up to the door jamb and foot well. I cleaned out some of the loose material that was no longer adhered. I dont recall quite so much on the firewall as the drawings suggest, though. It has been a while... Passenger side is shown.

I would imagine you've seen it, but just in case, there is a diagram in the mechanic's manual.

Great photos, just what I was looking for! My fronts were pretty much biodegraded on picture day.

With those photos I can extend the perforation pattern in the surviving piece I have to duplicate the fronts. I don't remember the perforated panels running up the firewall either, certainly wouldn't been as high as any pedal holes. Just the 4 elevated panels in the passenger compartment in attached diagram. Never seen that little one on the tunnel either. Trunk for sure is some of that same grit infused asphalt/bitumen material slathered under & over the floor panels.

Near as I can tell with the one good piece I have, it looks strikingly like 1/16th black waterproof door panel, glued down and slathered over with the above mentioned product, then painted body color.

I'm going to cheat on the tar products and go with silicone. Trunk floor is already in bedliner.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Edit:  Here's a pic of the only panel of 2 cars to come out intact:

An update and reference from my car, now that the front seat is out:

The small patch shown in the manual on the driveshaft tunnel is a piece of jute fiber insulation glued to the floor pan. See attached.

buy sheets of the best modern sound deadening material and cover the entire bottom pan from top of inner fire wall to the bumper in the trunk.   contacted cement it inside the doors and even to the roof under the headliner.  the difference is surprising.

Thanks for posting that. I missed taking the front floor shots right after the seat & front mat came out, so
these have helped a lot.

Thought about Dynamat but decided to just go with what was there with the exception of the tar. I got the panels made, including accidentally duplicating the spacing error on the holes which I intended to correct but drilled anyway, oh well.
