RE: [T3] Sound deadening material??


I agree with JJ.  In my case, I just covered the ENTIRE cabin floor with a
non-adhesive barrier.  This allows me to easily get to the pan without
having to tear apart/destroy anything.  The barrier I use (what the dude
told me) is used on the transmission hump of vans to keep sound and heat
levels down in the front compartment (for front engine/front wheel drive
vans).

My OE boards were still good for the most part but small sections did
solidify -- felt and looked almost like obsidian and was a real beech to
remove from the pan.
