BenLAST Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Been looking into Dynamating my bootlid, and potentially the doors. Is it as simple as they say? Cutting the sheet to desired size, cleaning the surface and stick it on? I've confused as to how exactly it would stop the boot rattle?Cheers.

nfbr Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Make sure you clean the surface on the inside of the doors about 10 times before sticking your dynamat down...I did the doors on my lupo and one hot summer, it pealed and came up through the window slot stuck to the window when I wound my windows up lol.I've only done the bootlid on the bora so far. I did intend on doing the full car this summer, but with it being off the road for so long, I've not had much chance to get round to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 It works by adding mass to the panels to stop them resonating.I used wheel cleaner to get all the waxy gunk off the inside of the doors before applying, it worked a treat.

BenLAST Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I shall try it on the boot today. See how it sounds, and how effective it is then do the doors next week if i'm happy with the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Tried some sheets on the boot lid. Little bit of differene. Certainly seems to make the bass "crisper", if you like.However, shall be popping down to an audio specialist near me whos quoting me up. So will probably be done over the winter, as will a interior re-trim, and wheel refurb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Aye, i mentioned that to them. They've got a heated garage in which they do work in so should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
