![]() ![]() On top of all that is the standard station wagon soundproofing and carpets (footwell mats are the rubber type with the foam backing - carpets there would get minging!), plus a bit of Carpet Right special in the rear. There is currently no soundproofing to the rear floor (other than a thin rubber sheet), the doors, or the roof (other than the full-length headliner). The rear arches have the flashing that simonr alludes to above on them, as do the interior surfaces of the rear upper side panels. The bulkhead inner face, foot wells, floor panels, tunnel and seatbox are all covered in it. His must be one of the quietest diesel Defenders I've been in.Īs mickeyw has mentioned my 90 has plenty of Fatmat in it. I believe he used Fatmat and lots of carpet on just about every surface, front and rear. Retroanaconda on here has a 200Tdi 90 hard top in which he has really gone to town with sound proofing. I used panel wipe to degrease the surface prior to application. ![]() The SilentCoat seems to stick well, as is easy enough to fold around the contours of the body work. I cannot comment on Fatmat in this respect. The product is Butyl-based, so doesn't pong in the way the bitumen-based alternatives do. When I sort out a few more of the water ingress issues I'll add other soft surfaced products over the SilentCoat they're pretty quiet as MTs go, but like I said, with the V8 you hear a lot of sounds that may not be noticed by others One noise I'd like to reduce would be the tyre whine from the BFG MTs. My truck is a V8, so many non-engine noises are noticeable that may be masked in a diesel model. I've also done both front footwells, but I can't report the same noticeable change as the rear. It had been a while since I cleaned off the old felt, so I could appreciate the change. So far I've done the rear wheel arches, and it has certainly reduced the noise of wet road spray. It's like having that winter-long wet dog smell without even owning a dog! The 110 already had a fair amount of felt based sound deadening under the carpets but it's damp and smelly, and I want it gone. This will ultimately have carpet or rubber matting over it, according to location. I've started going through my 110 with the 2mm SilentCoat. ![]()
