| There are a lot of products out there for
| |
| | actually cut the America mat to the same
|
| soundproofing your car but there is
| |
| | pattern as the protective mat that came
|
| precious little "How too" information out
| |
| | with the car that way you know it will
|
| there regarding this subject. I am here
| |
| | fit and look properly. Once you have the
|
| to fill that void. When soundproofing any
| |
| | America mat cut to your liking and the
|
| vehicle, the first order of business is
| |
| | underside of the hood is cleaned down to
|
| to take care of the engine noise coming
| |
| | the paint, I would recommend cleaning the
|
| from under the hood. Most people don't
| |
| | underside with a terry cloth rag and some
|
| realize that a lot of the noise they hear
| |
| | alcohol. This will insure good adhesion
|
| in the passenger compartment of their
| |
| | of the adhesive. You can also rough up
|
| vehicle is actually being transmitter
| |
| | the underside with a fine grit sand paper
|
| from the engine and the road via the
| |
| | on an electric sander. Cover the engine
|
| tires and shocks. In essence these sounds
| |
| | with a towel or drop cloth to prevent
|
| and vibrations are transmitted directly
| |
| | adhesive of sand granules from getting
|
| into the hood of the car which is a sheet
| |
| | into the motor. Now you will spray a good
|
| of steel that simply transmits the noise
| |
| | quality contact cement to the underside
|
| through the hood I and into the
| |
| | of the hood as well as to the smooth side
|
| windshield and ultimately to the
| |
| | of the America Mat. I like the 3M Super
|
| passengers ears. I know I know, you
| |
| | 77 spray contact cement. Keep the 2
|
| have some sort of fiberglass material
| |
| | pieces apart for as long as the
|
| attached to the underside of the hood,
| |
| | instructions say and once the adhesive
|
| isn't that soundproofing. I'm afraid not,
| |
| | has tacked you will adhere the foam to
|
| basically that is a heat shield to
| |
| | the underside of the hood. You will want
|
| prevent the heat of the engine from
| |
| | to use tape to hold the America mat to
|
| damaging the paint on the surface of the
| |
| | the underside of the hood until it dries
|
| hood. It does work well for that, but it
| |
| | enough to stick on its own. When the
|
| has absolutely no soundproofing abilities
| |
| | adhesive has dried you cam close the hood
|
| at all. What I suggest is that you
| |
| | and drive off. The America mat can
|
| remove that fiberglass hood mat and then
| |
| | withstand temperatures of 240 Deg F and
|
| clean the underside of the hood
| |
| | will literally last for the life of the
|
| thoroughly. You will then cut and glue in
| |
| | vehicle. This system can also be used on
|
| a piece of 1" America Mat which is a
| |
| | trucks and motor homes. We have many
|
| dense vinyl nitrile closed cell foam mat.
| |
| | customers who have used the America mat
|
| What you want to do is trace out the
| |
| | to soundproof the "Doghouse" that covers
|
| underside of the hood using a pencil and
| |
| | the engine from the inside of their
|
| butcher paper for example and trace out
| |
| | coach. Now there are also materials that
|
| the cut that you want paying attention to
| |
| | can be used for the floorboards as well
|
| the edges and the contours. How do I cut
| |
| | as door panels and the back areas of
|
| the foam so precisely you ask? Well I'm
| |
| | station wagons or vans or the trunks of
|
| glad you asked. The absolute best way to
| |
| | cars. We have also had people with
|
| accurately and precisely cut any kind of
| |
| | classic cars use the America mat to
|
| foam is to use an electric kitchen
| |
| | soundproof their vehicles; it can make
|
| meat-cutting knife. These electric knives
| |
| | your Corvette sound a lot quieter with
|
| are readily available at Wal Mart or
| |
| | the top up. I hope this has helped you in
|
| K-Mart and cost about $9- $12. It is well
| |
| | your quest for a quieter vehicle. There
|
| worth the investment if you plan on
| |
| | will be more articles on car
|
| soundproofing your entire vehicle.
| |
| | soundproofing in subsequent articles,
|
| Basically you would trace the pattern of
