hobson Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Before the bad weather i took the time to pull the footwells to bits to give them a dry, clean and paint, and put it all back together also adding some neoprene camping mat to all surfaces under the rubber covering, and it made a fair bit of difference to noise and warmth. so seeing as i have some nice new lock barrels to fit which will mean taking the doors to bits, i'm wondering if it's worth putting some on the inside of the door skins. Anyone think of any reason to do or not do this? or any pointers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 glued to the inner face of the outer skin, it should help prevent the skin drumming when driving. make sure you don't foul any of the window lift mechanism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 This is one of the jobs I have planned for the summer . A friend has lots of dense, closed cell foam stuff. Bit like camping mats, but a little thinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike4444244 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'm using roofing flashing, it's about £10 for a roll from b&q, it's essentially self adhesive bitumen backed aluminium, it's about 2mm thick and excellent fir reducing drumming, put it on under the camping mat and it makes a big difference Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a mate who is going to be using an american product called "Brown Bread" supposed to be the mutts bits, we'll see? Its £13 per roll 600x1000mm and sounds similar to the quote I have already lined my doors with an improvement, I used some floor underlay we had left over, its about two or three mm polysterene and has has foil face Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobson Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Roof flashing? good idea, unfortunately i had to put the job off today as SWMBO wanted to do other things than make me sandwiches and bring me cups of tea all day, and wash grimy clothes, strange creatures ladies... I'll do it on thursday or friday 'cos she'll be out all day then! I bought some self adhesive soundproofing years ago which was kind of thick tarry like stuff, so the flashing under the neoprene would work well i imagine. i'll let you know how i get on.

ChrisM_110 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Another vote for roof flashing tape, warmed with a hot air gun it sticks really well, and works a treat. I get mine from Screwfix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB Serenity Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 does the flashing do anything for noise insulation as well or is the difference negligible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Green Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 So just to be clear is it roof flashing AND camping mat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I can see someone with a few brain cells missing reading this thread, and then using lead roof flashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB Serenity Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Chaps, I've bought a load of this roof flashing and I'm a bit concerned about the weight. Isn't all this lead going to make my truck a bit heavy? Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brighouse shed Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 The extra weight means you'll be able to close the doors when you fit new door seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
