    How do I PROPERLY install sound deadener? 94 Ford Explorer

    Good vibration damper should last the lifetime of the vehicle.

    Deadener Help

    Lining the vehicle with closed cell foam will help with rattles but will not make a useful improvement in noise levels, certainly no help with exhaust noise. You really need a heavy barrier to reduce noise levels. That turns out to be tough to do on the "super cheap". Best bet is probably to add...

    Can I use Acoustical Solutions AudioSeal Sound Barrier on the floors of my car?

    You shouldn't have a problem. I used to get my MLV from Acoustical Solutions. I still refer people looking for architectural products. I never had a problem batch from them. Mine is more expensive because it only contains virgin materials. That's the only way to be certain there won't be...

    deadener on hood??

    I agree with those encouraging you to explore structural issues first. Is the hood properly adjusted? Are the rubber bumpers properly adjusted (or even still there at all)? Are the front quarters securely attached? A hood isn't like a trunk - it's not going to react to pressure changes in the...

    Ideas for strengthening door panels?

    Probably doesn't show in a mirror either. Sounds like vampire flex. You have to drive a stake through the speaker to stop it.

    Ideas for strengthening door panels?

    Just noticed your location. Are you sure your knee isn't hitting the panel because you're shivering? My brother lives on the water outside of Brunswick. Spent a week there one winter. Not doing that again. Beautiful during the summer but I'm guessing the shivering lasts about 6 month after the...

    And the difference between steak and grizzle, Pinto and Porsche is nuance too, I suppose? Your statement was absolutely false. The only possible explanations I can see are that you were either being deliberately misleading toward some end or don't know what you are talking about. If there's a...

    Ideas for strengthening door panels?

    Are they made of plastic and attached to the door inner skin with clips? Are you saying they are moving independently of the inner skin?

    Ideas for strengthening door panels?

    This is really the right answer. If you don't want to weld and paint, glue aluminum channels in. Vibration damper isn't a good stiffener. Fiberglass might help but will be hard as hell to do inside a door. if you do that, make sure resin doesn't run into the drains. Also be aware that many of...

    This isn't about liking or disliking anyone. It's not even about choosing one product over another. Anybody who sells a product and participates on forums is lying if they say they aren't at least trying to establish credibility. Aside from that, I felt I needed to respond to flippant attacks...

    If you don't want a condescending tone, stop using terms like "retarded" boatload of crap" and "BS" and then coming with nothing at all to support your position will always get a response. I'm not even suggesting that people shouldn't support their favorites, but doing it by gratuitously...

    That's an almost entirely false statement. The roller and HH-66 Vinyl Contact Cement I sell can be purchased elsewhere. Everything else I sell is made specifically for me and can't be bought anywhere else. If you mean that something similar to everything I sell can be bought for less elsewhere...
