Sound Deadening the doors and Sunroof Removal

Well the plan for the weekend just past was to finish off the sound deadening of the doors and roof - to finish the roof I needed to remove the sunroof - which also meant I needed to find a way of replacing the sunroof - Thanks to Brian who came up with the idea of bolting a sheet of MDF under the opening and using expanding phone to glue it back in and seal - it worked a treat - anyway here ate the pictures from this weekend.

First up getting started on the doors
 

  

Front doors are a real pain - access to the top of them is only possible with bendy arms! did the best i could though 

 
 

  

  
 I wasnt able to use a roller when I was applying the mat as the ones I had all broke but managed to get hold of a sturdy Lino roller so will be going over everything again

Next time I will wear gloves!
 
 
The sunroof was in the way of about 2 inches of box height and was also stopping me deadening the roof properly so it had to come out


 
 

  

Next i needed to remove the glas from the rest of the mechanism

 

 


 Wood bolted upto the old sunroof mounts then expanding foamed in and the glass glued it to
 

I could then finish off the dampening mat on the roof


im off to visit dumdum tomorrow to discuss plans for the alt fitting as well as the cable runs under the floorpan - cuts are healing well and im gearing up for another busy weekend of work

  2. Based on these pictures, I really think it's hard to do that kind of work. Thanks for sharing though.
