Check out the following page http://www.shagadelic.org/VW/info/gmbulley-soundproof/ great info-it relates to buses, but I think it has some good info that can be applied to T3's If you look through the McMaster site, they have some info on sound proofing/sound damping etc. pretty informative, and they help direct you towards which products are appropriate. If I were you, I'd try to use a peel& stick as opposed to something that you apply the adhesive to. Good luck, and let us know what you do... -kevin '65 kombi '71 sqbk somerville, ma -----Original Message----- From: Gamboa, Gary [mailto:Gary.Gamboa@sylvania.com] Subject: [T3] "SuperMat" I am thinking of building a "SuperMat" I call it. I want to incorporate sound absorption, heat shield and surface protection into a single mat. I was thinking of buying an aftermarket rubber mat, then using adhesive to join it with a sound absorber/ barrier from McMaster-Carr. The material I'm looking at is 1.30" thick. (How thick was the stock dampening material?) I didn't want to adhere the sound dampener directly to the rear deck because the stock dampening material I tore out of the car was wet, and disintegrated when I pulled it out. I've fixed all my leaks now, but if leaks recur, I want the flexibility inspect down to the bare metal, without having to remove the glued dampening material. Any issues with this?
