Question about sound deadener install For those of you that installed sound deadener in your cars, did you leave backing on the carpet when you reinstalled everything? I'm thinking of taking it out because of water issues that I've had.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Do you mean the jute? If so yes I left mine as it provides even better sound protection and heat for me. But that being said if you have every had that stuff soaked it's real hard to get it completely dried out and it can mildew pretty easily. Check it out first and if it's fine just reinstall it along with the carpet.

You can pretty much get it at any auto upholstery place (just call one and see if they'll sell you some). Just by several yards of it and cut it out with your current pieces as templates. I personally like it in there as it adds as stated above and also makes the carpet softer.

As did I. A lot of people were saying that the jute would not dry out. However, I found that after two to three days in the sun with some good winds dried it out really well. There are a couple discolored pieces that I will replace, but I don't think there will be any problem with smell.
