insulation like what? dynamat
or are you talking about fiberglass housing insulation?
I'm kinda confused on what you mean by "insulation"
insulation i mean protection/rejection of extreme heat outside (also sound)....summer here reach bout 40 deg. Celsius..so AC is workin overtime...yeah Dynamat is one of them...too expensive though thats why im thinking of an alternative way..what you think?
I reinforced my carpet with a layer of carpet padding. I also used padding to pad out/fill my door inserts. That worked great, but it was more of a sound deadener than weather insulation.
I did consider a way to use insulation... I tried a bit of the expanding foam and the bagged foam.
I drove around testing it and didn't see a difference, plus the foam and insualtion was just too ghetto, even for my dumb ass.
E-dead or fatmat is pretty cheap and can go a long way.

Heat is going to come through your windsheild and windows anyway, insulation is going to keep it in more than anything I would think. Would obviously work for sound though...

You should get some and try it out....let us know what you think of it...!mhi said:
Grace Ice & Water guard is asphalt. It will do nothing to reject heat and very little to reject noise. It is not meant to be used in high temperatures, so it will probably melt. It really isn't comparable to Dynamat at all. Dynamat uses a butyl adhesive that is much more resistant to heat and has a heavy foil lining that both protects the adhesive and improves its insulating abilities. It's also more than twice as thick as Ice & Water Shield.
Best thing to do is get a liquid paint on product like Second Skin Firewall, Lizard Skin Ceramic or the similar one made by Cascade. Of these three, the Second Skin product is a good compromise between heat and sound proofing. Lay it on about 2mm thick and you should notice an improvement. Need a good heat rejecting tint for the windows too.

ic..well i have to check the manufacturer for moisture reations on this insulation..
though im not to particular on the acoustic but the only thing that bothers me is the hssssssssss noise which i think is caused by the uneven slits on the body and some damage rubber gasket on the winshield and doors...(maybe im wrong)

They are the rubber parts. There should be one going around the door frame (the car, not the door). There will be one where the windows go into the doors. One goes around the windshield. Any place you see rubber filling the gap between two metal structures.mhi said:everybody is saying that i have a damage weather stripping but honestly...i dont know where are those weather stripping...can you tell me where are these parts located?
