I started to sound deaden my car today. I only had time to finish one door. I used Raamat and Ensolite (Great Stuff). Some of the pictures suck because my camera sucks. I will be doing the other door and the trunk tomorrow so I can take more pictures if needed (just let me know what you wanna see)

1. Door stock (w/ panel removed)


2. After removing plastic liner (you can trash this liner if you plan to completely deaden the doors)


3. Next I coverred the outter skin. (You can see the raamat through the holes in the door. (After applying the raamat, I added a layer of Ensolite but I forgot to take a pic)


4. This is just a close up of the last pic. You can see that all of the outter skin is covered.


5. When you start on the inner skin you want to cover all the holes in the door. I bought some aluminum to cover the holes. This just gives the raamat something to stick to.


6. Next I covered the inner skin (The part of the door just beneath the door panel)


7. And finally I added another layer of Ensolite to the inner skin.


Like I said, I only had time to do one door. This gave me a chance to compare the before and after... WOW it is a huge difference. I can't wait until I'm finished with the other door!

looks good!

estimated time to complete? amount of materials used? how does the ensolite attach?

lil_will

The one door took me about 3 hours. I wasn't really in to much of a hurry.
I probablly used about 15-20 sq ft of raamat and maybe a yard of ensolite.
The ensolite attatches with spray on adhesive which you can order w/ the ensolite.

Thanks! My hands look like I stuck them in a blender! But it was worth it.

ha ha, yea it took me a good couple of hrs to do the doors and trunk! worked out great tho!

Neothin

is the ensolite going to have problems with the water in the door?

I wouldn't mind seeing the trunk. I haven't searched yet(until I do it myself) but if you could show one pic about taking off the liner of the trunk too, that would be great! But I would like to see the pics of a done trunk if you don't mind. Thanks!

By the way, looks good and I'm sure it was worth the time.

You are probably not going to get much by subscribing to this thread since 1) it is over 3 months old and you pretty much just brought it back from the dead, and 2) there is an entire thread on gutting and deadening in the link posted in the last post of this thread.

Well, might as well ask here. I didn't know there was a liner on the door. Does removing that pose any danger to any of the components on the door?

And won't water get on the inside deadening?

guerro

1. If you deaden the inside sheet metal completely the way that is shown in most of the walk throughs posted here and on other online forums you will not need the plastic liner because the sound deadening material replaces it.

2. Quality deadening material such as eDead and RaamMat, once stuck in place, is pretty much impervious to any moisture that might get on it.

I'm extremely tight on funds as it is. Where can I get aluminum to close the holes?

lil_will

Wow, this post was brought back from the dead lol.

I picked up the aluminum at Home Depot. It is pretty much the same stuff that people use for grills. You just need something to cover the holes so the deadener has something to stick to.

lil_will

Wow, I just realized how bad a couple of those pics where! I can take a better pic of the aluminum I used if you need it.

Zebman

So gutter guard pretty much?

I think I can squeeze out a few more dollars, haha. I owe $250, which isn't a lot, but when you make $30 a week, it becomes a hassle.

Here ya go. Hopefully these pics are a little more helpful...

any bad smell during summer?

lil_will

Raamat is not ashphalt based, therefore there is no bad smell!
