Applying Sound Deadening And Insulation In This Great British Weather

One thing to check, seal the ends of the bolts that protrude through from the sliding door rail, there were a few allowing water in on mine that I sealed up with PU adhesive, I was getting water in the bottom of the cavity behind the wheel.
Good advice thanks @Grim Reaper it is simple enough to go back and seal them up around the rivnut joint.
I use a pressure washer, carefully but its probably a source of water in areas that are not designed for it.
The multirail roof bolts are already leaking! Another job on the list.
The nice thing about the insulation used is that it is all water tolerant and wont soak it up or break down. That's the plan anyway. I have also left a channel gap at the bottom rather than stuff wool or foam right down and plan to put 100mm vents in the bottom rear corner of the side panels.
Hopefully for ventilation but also to help the slam vents to work and make it a bit easier to close the doors. Nothing more irritating than repeated door slamming.
 
Hi
How much did you buy for the job m2 wise please ?
Bob
Materials for me so far, and I haven't finished yet are;
Silent Coat - Two bulk boxes 2mm 40 sheets.
Armaflex Ace - 13mm thickness 8m2 roll.
Diall recycled bottle insulation blanket from B&Q - bought 3 rolls as it was on offer, probably wont use it all.
That's what I reckon I will need for my LWB with twin sliding doors, tailgate, full windows and a pop top fitted so of course there is no insulation above the crease line and in the roof.
The windows and pop top get fitted in January.

I bought the Large LWB Van Extreme bundle, I needed another pack of deadening to complete the floor and front doors, and I've doubled up the layers of the extreme insulation where I can (no rear side windows)
There is a code from Skoda forums to get some money off SKODASC10

I knew there was a discount code out there, just couldn't for the life of me remember where. Perfect timing for me, thanks @Grim Reaper

Well done that man :thumbsup:
 
So completed the dodo lining in the roof and barn doors over this weekend although forgot to take pics of the doors, managed to get w quite allot behind the locking mechanism, basically unbolted the two bolts s and loosened off the spline headto give some flex and room to work
