Still **** Loads Of Rattles Still

[Danny]

Alright all well as most of you know a lil while ago I spent a number of days with the girlfriend on hand sound deadening my car with dyna extreme, then installing all of my audio and doing a boot build. a few weeks on and it still sound awesome but the rattles I have in the car just seem to be getting louder and louder, the major one is my sunroof. basicly when you open the sunroof you will see a bar accross it at the front which moves up and down as it opens and closes this b*****d will not stop rattling any suggestions at all. also i still have 1 roll of extreme left which i plan to use when i fit my speakers in the rear quarters I was just wondering how easy it is to get them out to do this will I need to take apart the boot build again.
cheers Danny

The plastic-y bits around the sunroof on my old 1.6 rattled like buggery so i slipped some kitchen roll into the crevises i could access and it never rattled again. Who needs dynamat extreme?

 

[Danny]

mine is actually the metal bar that goes accross the front the so how would i stop that.

 

[Tom]

You need more than 1 roll

How many have you used so far?

 

[Danny]

about 10 in total should i do another layer on the doors the have 2layers at the mo.

 

[Tom]

Where have you put it?

 

[Danny]

Loads in the boot hatch, the sides of the boot goin forward to just in the rear quarters then in the doors. and very little on the boot floor.

 

[Tom]

When you say 'loads in the boot & door' where exactly have you put it?

 

[Danny]

I took off the hatch and put it on every bit of bare metal i could find 3layers thick, then with the doors i took of the trim and firstly done where the driver for my comps sit then covered every bit of metal i could get to again. I tell you what il do il buy another few rolls and cover the doors again a few times and a few layers on the rear quarters. but to be honest it soumds like alot of the noise is nw coming up through the dash other then the sunroof.

 

[Tom]

did you do the inner and outer skins of the doors and boot?

 

[Danny]

not 100% which is which but on the boot i done the what i think is the outer (the hardest one to get at)
on the doors the inner as the outer was a bastard.

 

[Tom]

You need to do the outer on the door. As well as the back of the door trim.

 

[Danny]

Ok cheers mate as i said il buy some more and have a go any ideas with regards to the sunroof or noise coming from the dash.

 

[Tom]

there is equiv of 3 packs in my dash

 

[Danny]

where have you placed them too. did you have to take the whole dash out to do it.

 

[thomas]

Dont know why but when i put my subwoofer and comps in the HGT without any sound deadening it hardly rattled at all and that was with a tone test CD thats used to detect rattles! id say its better than my old 1.6 that was fairly well dynamatted. i only bought 5 rolls of extreme and now i cant hear a rattle unless my comps are playing too low. I got lucky with the HGT and id say its well solid.

 

[Tom]

The ashtray, the glovebox and the fusebox are the worst offenders.

 

[Danny]

yes they are is there any way to make them any better at all. how did you sound deaden your dash mate.
cheers Danny

 

[Tom]

Took off all the bits that would come off deadened every bit I could reach. Even took the glovebox lid apart.
