Ski days would suck!Or you could pull the top and completely give up the concept of noise reduction. Just saying….
All this has been thought about.I guess the question is, what would you do if the PO of your rig did this? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Haha I’ve toyed with doing this too, but I never commit when I think about the potential for rust to grow without any way to see if there’s an issue without scrapping it off.
Is there a way to do this with a removable membrane? Maybe mimic the vinyl/rubber floor mats and adhere the sound deadening and insulation to that?All this has been thought about.
I'm installing it with (hopefully) enough space around the rust prone areas that I can see what's going on, a little space around all the holes, flanges, and seams. May even spray some Fluid Film on some of the worrisome areas in the fall. Hopefully the large flat areas that are clean and free of rust will be fine, it's just the areas around bolt holes and such that I worry about.
Winter is the only time that moisture is much of a concern, the rest of the year isn't bad, and things dry out pretty quickly.
It's definitely something that I am going to need to monitor for a few years.
I thought of that for a while, but it would be a waste for the sound deadening mat.Is there a way to do this with a removable membrane? Maybe mimic the vinyl/rubber floor mats and adhere the sound deadening and insulation to that?
My original plan was to apply the insulation to the backside of a mat that can be removed to allow everything to air out and dry.Is there a way to do this with a removable membrane? Maybe mimic the vinyl/rubber floor mats and adhere the sound deadening and insulation to that?
We had a guy in town for couple years. He drove a convertible Sebring through the winter. He kept his skis sticking out of the back seat with the top down. Of course the Chrysler likely had better HVAC system than a 40.Ski days would suck!
Are you putting this inside the doors too? I will be watching this too - wanting to do the same in the near futureSiless 80 mil sound deadening mat cut to fit in most of the cab, I'm still finishing up the rear.
Possibly, I have one sheet left at the moment, hoping to save it for the doors.Are you putting this inside the doors too? I will be watching this too - wanting to do the same in the near future
With it stuck to the bottom of a mat it wouldn't dampen the sound as designed, at that point it wouldn't be anything more than an insulator of sorts, and probably not a very efficient one.Why not a mat with it on the bottom? That would suck to peel off if it doesnt end up doing much. A mat is removable at least.
