Brew Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I’ve not used Dynamat so excuse my ignorance. Can I just stick it to the back rest & floor? I know original back rest insulation / deadener hung on those clips & is made of stuff that was on floor pan. It slid off backrest & crumbled in the paint booth heat cycle. 🤨 advice/ suggestions appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 The dynamat should stick. But you could use more adhesive. Or you can get another insulation panel aftermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Where would you get that? I’ve tried looking to no avail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420ponies Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I have dynamat in the back half of my car. Use the roller they have to get it into all corners and hard to reach places. Been in since 2006 ,no problems. Keeps out the extra noises. I have not done the front half yet. Like it just the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am not mistaken Chevrolet mostly put a thick tar paper like substance between the metal floor boards and the carpet to deaden sound. Maybe someone else will step up and give more input. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Rob you may be correct. Mine originally stopped at the turn up and had the insulation behind the seat. Who knows what different plants did. Also mine could have been removed by the previous owner. So now I have to do more research to make mine correct. Back to slapping my head again. Lol.

Brew Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 Mine had that sticky tar stuff seen on floor all the way up to the top of the back seat originally. But like I said the bake time in paint booth took care of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 The Parts Place sells the tar paper for the floor in a kit. I’m not sure if it goes all the way up though. Further research will be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Just looked into Dynamat through OPG. They sell a complete floor kit pre-cut for “easy assembly” that starts at the toe boards and stops at the backseat. The area under the rear seat and the quarter panels are a separate kit. My questions are: how thick is the Dynamat? - will it prohibit smooth installation of carpet with the extra padding/installation? I know it’s supposed to be great at helping with sound deadening, but will it also help with heat transfer from the motor, trans and exhaust? Asking because it looks like I may be able to get my girl into the upholstery shop as soon as my door panels arrive next month instead of waiting until spring. If it’s worth the investment, I will order it and have it installed with the rest of the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 My carpeting with mass backing went over my Dynamat clone without any problem. It was the very same as Dynamat but about half the cost. Eastwood also sells a similar product that works well plus there are others. When I took the interior out of my 72 it had that bubble pack foil backed insulation under the carpet but did not do much. The floor was hot over the exhaust and the noise level was terrible. Now the floor is almost cool to bare feet and we had to have the radio set at 22 on the radio dial now we can have a normal conversation and the radio is only on the 9 to 11 setting according to what songs are playing the louder we set is for the songs we really like like the Doors Rider on the Storm, anything from Chicago plus a few others.

I used it with the 'mass backing' carpet with no issues on my Monte. I bought it in a bulk pack from Summit at the time, 36 sq ft box. It had 9 sheets, each 2'x2' and took me a couple of boxes, plus a little more out of a third box. The plan is to get another box or two when I do the Z/28 this winter.

Turns out the UPS guy brought the American Auto Wire harness, a termination kit and MSD ignition wires a little bit ago! At least some of the stuff is in stock and shipping out.
