I have a lot of in cabin heat and sound generated in the Rangie I have about 10mm thick rubber floor matting in the cabin and am wanting some views of what other people have done to over come similar problems and are there any products out there that are easy to install and relativly cheap.
many thanks

What about some fibre based carpet underlay? that is also a sound deadner, and should insulate as well????

I'm getting a price on some heat insulating mat to fix to the underside of the floor from Rocket Industries through Repco. I have a heat problem that actually causes coke type bottles to melt and shrink when left on my passenger's side floor!

I can get hold of some stuff made purposfully for the heat problems in cabins. It has a heat reflective stuff on the bottom of 10mm rubber. It goes under your carpet if you have any. It works very well.

I bought some underfelt from some car carpet place in Melb. It is 2 layers of felt with a layer of bitumen in between. I put this right through the 60 and the difference in sound levels was amazing. It used to be turn the radio up so you could hear it over the road noise, then talk really loud over the radio, now you can hold a normal speech level conversaton at 110kph no worries. I think it cost about $180 all up to do the whole car - well worth it I wreckon. If you do this, make sure you cover every inch of the floor as one small hole will let in a whole lot of noise.
