Sound Proofing / Insulation: Service and Repair

ATTACHMENT OF ANTIVIBRATION PADS

Antivibration pads are attached to the upper surface of the floor and at the interior side of the dash panel in order to absorb vibrations and shut out exhaust gas heat. If these antivibration pads are peeled off in the course of replacement or repair of a welded panel, cut and attach replacement material (in the shape shown in the figure).







1. Heat the "antivibration pad" with a blow drier to soften it.







2. Align the antivibration pad layer in the position where it is to be installed, and then press it down with a roller or a block of wood so that it adheres well.

NOTE: An infrared lamp can also be used to heat both the antivibration pad layer and the body panels(be sure to wear gloves).
