Re: Gutting my interior..... 200 1985

If the foam is shot and the Volvo "rubber" attached to the foam is shot, you will get a big decrease in sound.

The rubber mats are normally for your feet. I picked the flatest thickest ones I could find. Without ridges etc. Just plain thick heavy dense rubber would work, but this was easy (no cutting), not stuck with 20 yards, and cheap. You can't tell that they are there feel or looks wise but they deaden the sound as an "interlayer".

Nothing in the doors, yet.

I resealed the kick panels, and put some insulation on the hump between shifter and the parking brake (Volvo didn't have any there). I also put some under the seats.

Didn't mess with the headliner. Looks scary. Prob. would help.
