Well, not sure if this is worthy of its own post, but I thought I'd share my progress in using up my 50 sq. ft. roll of RAAMmat on my SC400. It's nothing that most of you have not already seen, especially if you've been monitoring retrodrive's progress, but here's the rear seat area. This took 3-4 hours. Between this area, and the area shown in the next post, I've used up 25 sq. ft. so far:

...and here's the area behind the trim panel on the driver's side of the trunk. You can see the radio antenna assembly to the right. This took about an hour:

holy ****...that is pretty neat. if you put some foam on top of the mat. the roadnoise will disappear from the back of the car.

Looking good, loule !

RetroPete: what kinda foam would you recommend here?
You have some different types on your web page, such as insulating foam, 1.5 inch foam, and (presumably) GoodStuff non-expanding foam. If the foam is too thick, won't I have trouble reinstalling the seats?

There are two types of foam I am using. One is 1/8 inch and I mostly used it for the interior plastic panels and the 1/4 inch I used on floors, roof, rear seats etc. It is great in insulating hoise and even more importantly heat. I have it in my local store in San Diego.

Rick was going to put it up on his site for the same price he could get it for. Not sure when though.

from my stiff suspension shiat rattles all the time, if i RAMMAT my whole interior will these rattles go away? thanks guys!!



also are there better types of interior clips that will hold tighter that wont get loose causing rattle over time? thanks

PERRYinLA

I guess that could not hurt, but that's a lot of labor just to track down some interior panel rattles. I'd enlist a passenger to isolate exactly what panels are rattling while you drive over some bumps.

Then I'd remove the panels and stuff some appropriately sized foam behind them. While they are off, what the hell- slap some RAAMmat in there, too!

haha thanks man!

Great job, I've gotta get off my a$$ and order some Raammat, and work on my install. I've got enough to listen to so I've gotten lazy, haven't worked on it in too long.
