Alpha damp in headliner?


Recommended Posts

Do you think a little bit of alpha damp in above the headliner would help stop the (moon/sun or w/e weird ass roof the g6 has) from shaking so much?

Or maybe just some regular damp would help?

Going to order some damp pro to replace the cheap stuff I have now and was wondering if the alpha would help more for the roof because I need to get that in check before I add more power.

it's going to help a bit simple because it adds mass. but the point of alpha damp is not to reduce vibrations but rather to change the resonance of the metal.

Yeah I'm not sure what they were thinking when they designed that roof...

MrSkippy is correct, it would be hard to know exactly how much it would help since there is very little sheet metal to that roof.

My suggestion would be to approach it like this.

Apply some Damp Pro or Alpha Damp on the sheet metal of the roof (what little bit there is).

Then apply a thin layer of closed cell foam (such as our OverKill) between the headliner and the roof to see if that can help isolate it.
