We’ve all been there! I fitted an after market seal kit from a company called X8R, I did a video about it not long back, and it’s worked an absolute treat. If you choose to get yourself a kit, use discount code DABDIY20 for 20% off.
Love these tinkering videos, and your honest answers to the effect they've had. If I could go back pre-covid I'd have picked one of these cars up cheap and kept it as a run around to work and back. They look a lot of fun to keep coming back to and doing the work to keep them on the road. Thanks for the videos.
Really nice vid !! I have the same car and I am doing the insulation. I am waiting to see you putting the big stuff on the floor because I am wondering if you can stil put together all the carpets back in after adding thickness on the floor ! Sorry for my aproximativ english, I am french.
I don’t think I’m going to bother with the thicker stuff, to be honest. The silver pieces in this video have produced a decent amount of sound deadening, so I think I’m going to stick with that. At some point, I’ll also be adding it to the doors, walls and roof.
It did, yes. It would have made more of a difference if I’d used better quality material, but it’s worth doing. My next step would be to do the rear quarter walls, doors and roof.
you should have popped the rear side panels and done the wheel arch and the quarter panel too ,,, I filled that space with closed cell expanding foam and the difference is night and day
That’s on my to-do list for when I do the doors and the ceiling too. I’m removing the panels and painting them and while they’re out, I’ll apply more sound deadening material.
Red and green is a fantastic combination lol. In that scale, I’d give it about 6.5-7 ish. If I’d have used a good quality material rather than aliexpress’ finest, that number would be much higher.
It’s been noticeable, yeah. Granted the difference could have been more noticeable if I’d have used better material, but still, it’s noticeable. I intend on doing the walls, doors and roof at some point too.
Start with the doors, hood, back lid, roof (yes, important), the panel that covers the wheel wells, the C column. Everything what sounds tinny. Also, remove the plastic liners in the wheel arches and look for tinny sounding surfaces behind. Just use your naked fingers to knock on all surfaces. That’s how you find those who need treatment. I didn’t put any butyl mat on the floor like in the video, because the metal surfaces there are too massive for the mats to make a difference. I finished the job yesterday and the vibration noise is gone. Now I mostly hear the engine and the exhaust.

I'm not going to sound-proof, but the dismantling of the interior was beneficial for me. I will do it in the summer because I had a pool in my car.

They’re great fun, you’re right! I was really lucky to pick one up when I did.
Very intersting with this material against the noise👍🏻
i would have painted a additional anti rust layer before sticking anything onto the metal.
Any rust underneath you now won´t see.
Good point
You're very good! Perfect job...
Que buen trabajo hecho felicidades se notará mucho en carretera ,
Thank you 😊

Did it actually make any difference to sound suppression?

Se oye menos fuerte en el interior? Gracias
Si, es mucho mad tranquila ahora
Does it also help with insulation at least a bit? Logically yes but to what extent? I'm thinking of doing this in my Aygo in the summer.
I don’t know tbh. I never really considered the insulating properties of the sound deadening material.

@@DABDIYmake a video pleaseeee
I will, but it’ll definitely be a spring time job now!
@ copy that
The floor is a little bit higher? Did you have any problems?
No problems at all. Just make sure you keep the mounting holes free, everything goes in just fine.
Giggled a bit when seen long red hair and green finger nails😅. On a scale fron 0 to 10 how much did this helped with the noise?
Red and green is a fantastic combination lol.
In that scale, I’d give it about 6.5-7 ish. If I’d have used a good quality material rather than aliexpress’ finest, that number would be much higher.
Has it made a noticeable difference. C1’s are quite noisy especially when you are used to a car with much more sound deadening.
It’s been noticeable, yeah. Granted the difference could have been more noticeable if I’d have used better material, but still, it’s noticeable. I intend on doing the walls, doors and roof at some point too.
@@DABDIYcan you tell me roughly how many of those sheets you used? I have done the front doors so far.
I haven’t a clue mate, I didn’t count. If I were to guess, I’d say approximately 30 sheets.

@philwxwlr481 I intend on doing a lot of what you said in the spring when the weather starts to behave.
There's a much quicker, simpler, easier, cheaper, and more effective way .... get a pair of earplugs :)
Where’s the fun in that though?
didnt even do a before and after sound meter reading from your phone? shame
I didn’t see the point. I’m not using high quality materials, so what does it matter? Aliexpress product at its finest 😅
