My 1.3 multijet dynamic is a wonderful little car except for one thing there is an obvious difference in sound proofing between the 1.3mj and our 1.9td HGT when it comes to sound proofing I would go as far as to say the 1.3 has no sound proofing whatsoever.
Taking the Flashing/roofing tape approach I have covered the boot lid and boot floor under the back seats and front doors and the difference is pretty impressive a cheap iPhone db metre app measured a minimum of about 88db before it is now down to about 70-78db depending on speed
Wanting to continue my assault on excessive sound I want to now cover the floor celling and back doors I just have a couple of questions.
1) How do you get the rear door winder handles off without breaking them
2) how do I drop the roof lining has any one done this and is there anything I need to be aware of? In doing so I suspect I need to take all the trim off the A,B and C pillars so will add a bit of deadening to these too.
The idea is to kill a bit (a lot) of road noise, I'm not fitting some £10k stereo system so have no intention of spending hundreds of pounds on dynamat or equivalent before anyone suggests I do
