FatMat Sound Insulation
Has anybody installed FatMat sound insulation in their A?
What was your success? Is it worthwhile? Thanks, |

Re: FatMat Sound Insulation
I bought some of this from Bert's..
https://parts.modelastore.com/show_Product.asp?ID=4943 I added it inside both doors and on the quarter panels. I think there was a big improvement not only in noise but it made the whole cab feel more solid. I bought more and will eventually add it to the rear panels behind the seats. Randy

Re: FatMat Sound Insulation
Since the interior is out of my 29 Tudor, I am considering this type of product. One thing that concerns me. There is no weather seal between the door and door glass. How will the sound deadener be affected by water? How will affect the doors ability to dry out after a rain or car washing?

Re: FatMat Sound Insulation
A more affordable alternative would be Peel & Stick Roofing At Lowe's
I think this is what Burner31 is referring to?

If you try to insulate under the floor boards, be sure to do it in a way that you can work on the car without removing all the insulation. I have seen people cover everything and it takes all day to get the boards out when you have to. |

Re: FatMat Sound Insulation
I think the "Peal and Stick" product will provide a measure of sound deadening to a vehicle, but very little insulating value. Used it in my 31 coupe along with a foil backed fiber insulation material. Haven't gotten to the doors and floors yet, but some very good points for these areas has been pointed out here.

Re: FatMat Sound Insulation
Probably the best is Dynamat, but expensive.
http://www.dynamat.com/brands/dynamat-xtreme/ I have used HomeDepos peel and stick and it does make a difference. https://www.homedepot.com/p/E-O-12-i...V516/100028603 |

Re: FatMat Sound Insulation
Made my normal frustrating stop at local Home Depot this morning looking for the self adhesive duct wrap mentioned above. Their computers said they have it, but nobody could find it! If you need something smaller than a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood, good luck.

Re: FatMat Sound Insulation
Try Lowe's. They have employees that are NOT all owners, but they know where things are in Virginia.

Re: FatMat Sound Insulation
I used this on all surfaces below the windows as well as the metal floor pan.
https://www.fatmat.com/shop/rattle-t...-included-6586 I installed it when the body was primed. We then painted all of the interior and the Rattle Trap as well as the fire wall insulator. The look good in their matching body color. It does a great job of killing the harmonic body booms Last edited by GPierce; 12-05-2017 at 08:25 PM. |

Re: FatMat Sound Insulation
I have.used Dynamat ove4 the years. I like to warm it up with a heat gun as Im applying it. I use a little wooden wallpaper seam roller to get it laid down nice and even. You dont need to coat the entire panel.
