Hey Guys,
Looking to make the inside of d22 dual cab cabin a bit quieter. Most of the noise I get is engine noise/road noise. I'm looking at some of this cheap pingjing sound deadener on ebay which comes with a roller applicator for about 200 bucks which should cover the floor and rear wall of the cabin plus the left over for the inside of the door skins.
I have previously replaced the underlay oem stuff which I soaked with muddy water when I got stuck I'm a mud hole, so I have some foam insulation stuff to go on top in between the deadener and carpet.
When I had the carpet out the to dry out and clean the mud out plus remove the oem insulation, I noticed the front fire wall has a hard plastic surface which was all cracked and deteriorated over where your left foot sits on the drivers side near the clutch pedal. Underneath the cracking plastic is like a cotton/fibrous substance? I'm assuming it protects the cabin if there is a fire in the engine bay, hence the term firewall? Anyway my main question is if I get the sound deadener and apply it, should I apply it directly over the fire wall material which is already there? Or just but it up to the edge? The plastic surface has broken away from the fire walls material exposing the cotton/fibres. Not sure if the sound deader would stick to that surface or whether I need to coat it in a paint of something first. I have some spray on body deadener which I could put on before rolling the sound deadener on so it has a clean surface to attach to?
Any advice would be welcome. Cheers
Alex
