The plastic surround will leaver off and you will see the cut out...as for cleaning ...use non spirt base ( or it leaves a film that make it harder to stick ur sound proofing) really as long as it’s dust free and dry don’t bother cleaning
Hi ...silent coat 2 mm (silver) and 3mm (black) on wheel arch plus dodo mating ( on panels and roof) if that helps

Just noticed you haven’t done the steps? Any reasons why?
Hi ..didn’t realize that your van had been lined...glue not a real problem,sound deadening is not about covering every thing ( as I did) you can work around the Arches ( if you want try a test patch on the glue area..apply a bit of heat ..hair dryer good and if ok and sticks well ..job done..don’t forget to use the roller tool to press it down)
Not done steps as sound resonance in that area is ok...it’s the road noise via the wheel arches and the more tinny areas that need deadening but I’ve just done the front as i had to do some cable work

Will be starting my flooring tomorrow, any tips on how / where best to start?
Also suggestions on cutting around seat brackets to make it neat and tidy as yours is
Start at one end so your not crawling over the sheets you have laid....try a dry run ( so to avoid loads of cuts as it gets sticky) no real technique ( just Take ur time ) but make sure you push it into the contours....remember it ain’t got to be neat...your never see it again
And don’t cover any bungs that you may later need to pass stuff through.....thinking ahead before you lay your floor think about any
cables you might need to put in place for the future.......expect dirty finger nails
Does sound deadening under the rubber flooring needed? I’d have thought the rubber does a good job?

No....not that clever ..just cut around...
If you lay it from one side and manipulate it over and around any contours it will push any air out, but It’s still a hot job on a warm day, did mine in the winter had to preheat every sheet......just drink plenty of beers ( got to keep your fluids up
)
