Parts are on order to finish the fuel pump install.
In the meantime I started applying sound deadener to the inside of the car. Got the roof done today.
Materials:
-Noico 80 mil sound deadener sheets: Amazon
-Noico roller: Amazon
-Aluminum tape: Amazon
-Scissors
-Gloves
-Heat gun
The mats consist of a layer of metal foil and a layer of butyl rubber. There is wax paper covering the butyl, which is peeled off and the mat placed on the car. The roller is used to firmly apply the mat to the metal. The bumps on the foil are an indicator if you have applied enough pressure with the roller...they should be flat after using the roller. The mats can be easily cut with a normal pair of scissors. Be sure to wear gloves because the sharp edge of the foil will cut you.
Application should be done above 53 degrees. I used a heat gun to heat up the roof a bit to be sure I had good adhesion. Rolling every square inch of the roof was torture on my shoulders and arms. As a last step, I put aluminum tape over every joint, as well as all around the edges. That should seal everything up and is an extra layer of security.
A couple of notes:
1.) The mats have no smell to them
2.) I used just over 5 sheets to do the whole roof (9 to a box)
Click on the video link to see the comparison of before and after. I used the same force when knocking on the roof. And the roof hasn't been washed since I bought the car, so forgive the filth: YouTube
