Re: [Amc-list] Sound mats and belts.

I've had the foil backed bubble wrap on both sides of the firewall (engine compartment and passenger side) of my car for years. It's holding up well, and does a great job of heat insulation, but does absolutely nothing for sound. Not dense enough. Density means weight, nothing you can do about it. I also trimmed about 1/4" off each edge of my headliner and put the bubble wrap in the roof. It's basically reflective insulation, so it should help with summer heat -- can't say for sure. I also glued some in the doors using silicone. Again, not sure if it helps a whole lot.

I have the bubble wrap foil faced stuff. I just can't decide how well a job it will or will not do.
