Great informative video thank you. I’ve been told by a few people NOT to put sound deadening on the roof if you are in extreme heat areas, like Oz or Africa. Because the adhesive softens in extreme heat and because of the weight of the product, they start to fall off. What’s your thoughts on this? I see you’ve done it anyway but not sure how much feedback you have had from customers after a while.
Do yall ship to the US?
That is such an annoying accent
Can't you ship to Europe? I can't find any similar product to your Sound Barrier Floor Mat in Sweden/Euroope
ARe all these material waterproof and won't retain water?. That's pretty important in a Defender LOL.
heyy first!!
really informative , but I wish you wouldn't talk up in your sentences all the time
If you were to just start with one section what do you think would cut down the most noise? I was thinking either the doors or the floor first? I can do the doors without pulling seats. I drive a crew cab Chevy Colorado pick up truck. Road noise is driving me nuts.
I have done part of my 110 Defender/Perentie (running Isuzu engine). Just the front floor, seatbox and most of the firewall. Made a massive difference, however I would like to keep going it. I think it might be worth my while looking at buying a bulk lot, rather than doing dribs and drabs.
