[QUOTE="Original wis, post: 8804197, member: 685344"] Completing the rear part of the installation [ATTACH]41480[/ATTACH][ATTACH]41481[/ATTACH][ATTACH]41482[/ATTACH] Completed the sound deadening for the entire rear seating area and rear doors. [ATTACH]41478[/ATTACH][ATTACH]41479[/ATTACH] I made several mistakes with the process for the rear doors but I'm glad that I made them so that I don't repeat them on the front doors where it is more important.
