I just did my Chally carpet and the padding was substantial. But I did glue padding to the roof and back seat/trunk divider. Check My Web Page: http://edanneberg.googlepages.com/home

I used it in alot of places and it did help quiet up my cars. Used it in the roof,rear speaker shelf, floor, cowel and a few other places. Can't hurt and did make a difference, because I've been driving my car since the eighties and put this into the car a few years ago. It helped my AC do a much better job, that's for sure. I only glued it to the cowel and roof,the rest I just layed into place.Used 3M spray adhesive. What about where the carpet stops in the rear? Cheap and very light weight. I used it here before 71TA had heater box gaskets available. I guess you can say I like this stuff, it's very easy to work with, cheap, easy to get, and very light weight.

LOL While the dynamat and its copycats is spendy, the stuff used by challenger one is not.. I believe challenger one used the insulation that has foil on both sides with the bubbles sandwiched inbetween?? I was going to use this until I found some heating duct insulation. I found some duct insulation(at home depot) that is a felt with foil on one side and it has adhesive on the other. ABout 1/8" thick. To do my whole floor plus, cost me $50.. The local upholstery shops I spoke to all use something in the floor similar to this...

(unless it was a race car) i have been using B-Quiet and am happy. i have talked to the guys at fatmat and i like their customer service and would buy from them as well. i am going to add B-quiet ot my roof soon. that should help even more

Real foil = good Mylar = burn baby burn I think the jute backing on the carpet and the carpet would burn better than this foil stuff. It's sold as insulation so I'm sure it's approved as building materials.

I got it at Lowes they have two sizes get the bigger with the foil tape that recomended, it was around $45. You can hold a lighter to it and its very hard to get it to lite. BTW remember to add whatever you use to the package tray area and behind the rear seat, this to me is where a lot of the noise and heat comes from. 5154973-January09128.jpg (55 downloads)

My cars never gets wet. Do you drive it in the rain? I even use waterless car wash to wash it. If you ever restore your car again, it would be a bear to get all that stuck on stuff off. IMHO
