[QUOTE="AWD PSI, post: 7005066, member: 625722"] This is the side panel where the seatbelt is housed. It just looked like a big flat resonant panel so I decided to deaden it and add some foam. [IMG]http://lh6.ggpht.com/_r5UMpGSu5M4/TJLmcZ9K_pI/AAAAAAAAAA8/10wmsPls63w/s800/IMG_0379.jpg[/IMG] Cutting to size. [IMG]http://lh3.ggpht.com/_r5UMpGSu5M4/TJLmcdjnrnI/AAAAAAAAABA/_CqYeMN3Ibk/s800/IMG_0380.jpg[/IMG] Glued in using 3M 77 contact spray adhesive. Taped the ends down and laid sandbags on it overnight. This glue is very tacky and holds the CCF well. [IMG]http://lh3.ggpht.com/_r5UMpGSu5M4/TJLmcRkfWEI/AAAAAAAAABE/IJChEHrowOc/s800/IMG_0381.jpg[/IMG] Cutting the rest of the mat to fit the door. [IMG]http://lh6.ggpht.com/_r5UMpGSu5M4/TJLmchQVV9I/AAAAAAAAABI/unuwGxqqBnQ/s800/IMG_0382.jpg[/IMG] I first cut the mat to fit inside the door panel. [IMG]http://lh3.ggpht.com/_r5UMpGSu5M4/TJLnW2tp_AI/AAAAAAAAABU/gk0bbciztWs/s800/IMG_0383.jpg[/IMG] I decided to fit it to the door.
