RJ300 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 2 hours ago, Second Skin said: Butyl rope can be used some times in between the bent frame metal and the flimsy sheet metal of the lid. Make sure to get butyl rope or some CCF like Over Kill/Over Kill Pro (be careful with expanding foams, too much expansion may split welds causing more noise) in between the gaps. Post a pic so we can help you fix the issue. Thanks for the advice here's some pics of what I'm talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Skin Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Yeah, with those gaps, that is going to be the outer layer that is most likely rattling. If you can get CCF in there it would be good, but you may want to use the ideas the other poster listed, just be careful with expanding foam as it will push metal outwards if too much is used. 1 Quote Whether you are restoring a classic muscle car, building an audio system monster, or trying to give yourself a bit of silent luxury on your daily commute, we have a product or combination of products that will help you achieve your goals while saving money and save time.

Thanks for the help man really appreciate it. Think I'm gonna try CCF first. Overall im super happy with the layer of damplifier Second Skin for the Win!! Any other tips for when installing the CCF? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Skin Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Cut it in long strips but the width of the size of the holes and push it in as far as you can. Be careful not to bump taillight wires and cause a disconnection (and a ticket). If you keep them long, you can always pull them back out if you want to try something else. It's just going to be trial and error until you get product in between the two metals that are causing the rattle. I wouldn't even glue it in, once you get it full enough to solve the problem, just tape the hole entrance up with foil tape, so you can re-access the foam in the future since it wasn't glued in.

Hey, maybe that could be another product you guys make???? Second Skin expanding damplifier foam, specificaly made for the car audio world, that'd be pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Skin expanding damplifier foam, specificaly made for the car audio world, that'd be pretty cool. Already looked into that a few years ago. Unfortunately, with the liability of damage that expanding foam can cause, it isn't worth the negative publicity that a damage claim may bring to our high quality product line. In this day and age of sue happy Americans, some uneducated customer would fill a gap too full, bust open his mothers Escalade hatch lid, casing damage to her paint/wires/lights/metal, and just our luck mom would be a high profile lawyer in DC or something. Boom, one lawsuit taking away 17 years of great customer service reputation ;-) There are a lot of new products we stay away from just because of the liability of user error (exhaust wraps are one). We'd love to offer them, but some jack butt would do it wrong and start his car on fire. Thanks for the tip though Charger!!! We are always looking for new ideas in the sound deadening world. ? 1 Quote Whether you are restoring a classic muscle car, building an audio system monster, or trying to give yourself a bit of silent luxury on your daily commute, we have a product or combination of products that will help you achieve your goals while saving money and save time.
