THERMO SHIELD PADDING
************************************************************************************************************************
When the Sound Eliminator was dry, I added my next layer to the soundproofing project...
The stock carpet had some thick padding under it to both insulate from heat and cold and to sound dampen.
The new carpet had some padding, but it was not nearly as thick or dense as GM's.
GM's was made up of recycled fabric hunks it looked like.
Well the stuff was glued to the inside plastic paneling as well. The factory used a glue gun and the material tended to separte over time and fall off the paneling, esp if it got wet...
The material tended to have one side bare and the other had a black plastic type material on it...
So I shopped around. I found some Thermoshield padding at Pep Boys.
You can also get it thru JCWhitney. I was made to sound dampen and to help control climate in the vehicle. It was much denser then stock & had some added metallic foil layer for increased climate shielding.
I used Aluminum foil tape to go over all the seams before I moved on.
