Have Insulation - Where should I stick it? (07 LB Road Noise Reduction)
Installing new head unit + speakers this week. Thinking now is a good time to do *some* road noise reduction.
I don’t care to gut the car and do it fully (at this point). Focus: easiest areas that make the biggest difference. I have 2 types of padding on hand. 1) 80 mil sound deadening Noico. 36 sq ft 2) 2-faced foam padding like in pic below. It’s leftover from another non-car project and I have enough to wrap the whole car in it. Maybe 1/2” thick. Plastic barrier stuck to both sides. Given the supplies above, where would you recommend putting them to reduce some road noise? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I know you said you did t wanna gut the car but if you remove the inside rear quarter panels, it exposes the outter sheet metal and wheel wells. I did this to one of my cars. I did the whole inner rear quarter, the wheel well and the trunk floor. Made a decent difference

Safe to assume you ran it under the spare rather than laying it on top?

I actually just pulled those plastic panels out of my car hunting a pesky water leak. It only takes 10 minutes and it exposes a shitload of bare metal. Definitely a good place to start.

My whole car was gutted. I laid it everywhere there was metal. Did the entire floorpan from the pedals back, inner rear fenders, the wheel wells and the hatch. Some of these areas are double thick. I picked up another box to do the doors next spring.
Tip: if you're using the butyl stuff that you need a roller for, I highly suggest making your own roller from a metal castor and a threaded rod. The ones you buy online send to really suck and break easily. I made 2 different sizes and they worked great. Applying on a hot day helps with adhesion too.
