Soundproof/Insulate quick advice?
Hi,
My new Defender arrives next week. ( 110 USW)

Im keen to start in the loadspace with something to improve sound deadening and protect side panels from moving loads.

Reading the net leaves me a bit confused??

Do I need sound deadening pads first?...then insulation?..then carpet/rubber?

Is Dynamat ( or similar) a one hit solution?

Do I need to cover every square inch of bare metal?

Is it a different solution on Floor? sides?and roof?


Any help or experience welcomed. I want to do it myself and I want to do a "good" job without going completely over the top.

Thanks

Most of us use a combination of NoiceKiller, Dynamat & Carpet.

On the rear tub, I have NK under the carpet. Behind all the side panels I have Dynamat.

Not done anything behind the roof lining yet.

I have TGE panels as well because mine's a USW

Very happy with the result. Can have a normal conversation at 65mph Thumbs Up

You don't 'need' to cover everything, but we do.

We use 'Dynamat' or 'Skinz' dependant on the clients preference / budget (I personally can't tell the difference when driving in a vehicle between them) - These are a foil sheet with a 'bitumen' type black sticky backing, it is this that is applied to the bare metal (be sure to degrease the metal first)

We then apply a layer of 6mm neoprene, again from either manufacturer to all floor areas and rear seatbox / barrel sides / van sides (which we then carpet)

Blimey. Is that leather trim in the hard top back?
