My threaded inserts and bolts finally arrived after being delayed by Mother Nature (or Al Gore LOL!!!)... I'm still waiting on my butyl sealant rope to get here but I went ahead and got these installed... I love the flexibility of the threaded inserts (great recommendation @meade916) so I can take them out whenever I need to...

First of all much respect for you, to you and what you've done for the industry... I noticed in the video that you didn't drill the holes for the sub all the way through for the threaded inserts, but for the plexiglass insert you did... Is there a specific reasoning behind that?? Also, do you use a particular brand or just any soft wood threaded insert?? Thanks!!

Second Skin Application

It was not on the door but the same concept. It's in the hatch area, there's about a 3-4" gap between the internal framing and the outer skin. I bought some "Great Stuff" but haven't tried it out yet. -

I do have another question, I've begun installing the Damplifier Pro and now I'm wondering how you sound deaden between the outer skin and inner metal framing. Also, what's the best stuff for doing this task? -

Thanks for the acetone recommendation. It worked great. -
Sorry if this is a repeat question, I couldn't find anything. I plan on beginning to install my Damp Pro tomorrow. That being said, what should I use to clean and prep the surface really well. I got some 3M adhesive remover to get the old residue off. Should I degrease (ie Purple Power) it? It's a 92 so it's pretty nasty under the carpet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm glad there's still some Integrity out there. Luckily, I'm not against small shops and if I found one that I could trust I'd be more than happy to "become a sponsor" LOL. I actually just found a small shop here in Cincinnati and he said he's thinking about carrying Sundown. I told him I'd help him put in his first order LOL. If I didn't think it was a GREAT product, I wouldn't have gone through ANY of this.

Any shop that works hard to actually MOVE our product and keeps a fair amount in stock to take advantage of discounted / free shipping will make PLENTY of margin. Not to mention the new 2014 tiered pricing which offers incentives to dealers who are able to sell more volume. Obviously you can't sit one unit on the shelf, have people walk in, point at it and get 100% mark-up. It just too bad that most of the shops that are willing to do the work, are online...

they have to make money sure, but why lie to him to do it? Was it the shop owner or the employee that said they would price match? Maybe the employee lied to get you there and then asked the owner after the fact. Kinda what it sounds like. If it was me running the shop, I would've ate the $22 and then dealt with the employee accordingly. I'd rather go out of business being honest than being dishonest with people. As Much as I like karma, I hate when that b!tch comes to visit.

Clearly, if they had been honest they would've got a repeat customer and I would've done the 80 miles with no problem. But it's shops like my example that mess it up for the good spots that do still exist, like the one you mention. OAN, unlike most I'm not doing this for comp, I just want good stuff for my install.
