I have not checked any thermal loads before and after, so I could not provide any substantiated data for temperatures. Using “bro science” I would think adding air gaps via foam, thinsulate, and the foil back deadening mat would definitely help with insulation like those shiny foil heat...

If the triangle gasket is whistling there in my photos that is your issue most likely. If your door is whistling at the top by your ear then carefully pull down the window gasket on the hard top and even a tiny bit eliminates the whistle. They move down a little.

Ha. I’m not around the bronco right now but here are some photos of the location. The weather striping sits inside the channel so when the glass is up it compresses the weather striping and seals the air coming in. Follow the contour of the window at an angle so the strip takes up slack in...

Go to Home Depot and buy the self adhesive backed weather striping. Separate the 2 and cut a piece about 3” or so. Roll window down and slide the strip in there so the adhesive sticks to the upper part of the triangle trim then roll window up and close door so window presses up against it. Then...

Awesome! Wish your the best and hope the info is helpful ☺️👍

It does. But you might miss the rumble of the engine. It was somewhat a disappointment… here I thought it was a tough v6. Nah just a quiet tough v6. Ha. The nice thing is you can always change it back if you don’t like it. But most likely the engine noise you are hearing is fake so by removing...

Cool! Yeah I will get it down soon. I’m lazy. Ha. Just busy but will try to get it posted. I also did not remove the seats or the carpet. You can access the areas with out doing that.

I used the NIOSH SLM app. I had mine at ear height. I also turned off HVAC. I did have a nasty air whistle on driver door and fixed that prior to the testing. The little triangle spot the window rises in was pretty bad on mine. Also the stock tires are pretty loud. Not sure what your tires are...

Cool 😎. Let me know what you think. It didn’t change the Db on the test but the sound was definitely lower in pitch to ear. Like “no way” lower 😂 sorry that’s not very quantifiable but very real 😂😂😂

I agree with others here. I’ve done extensive work and trial and error. The kilo mat plus closed cell and 3m thinsulate works amazingly well. I have a video I’m editing on how I did mine. Should be done soon. Did lots of Db testing. Doors are big and so is floor. The headliner is not a big bang...

Forscan is the best way. Free software lots of tutorials online with spreadsheets. ACM module is where to change the code to turn it off

I’ve done extensive db testing and deadening. Through out my bronco. The sound in the bronco is actually coming from the floor and bounces off the plastic, windows, and fiberglass. I added kilomat, second skin closed cell foam, turn off-road liner and carpet. All that work lowered if 1.5-2 db...

I’ve done some experimenting with sound deadening on my wildtrak. I have 37’s portals and loud upper control arms due to the heim joints and delta joint. the noise or loudness I found came from the noise from the frame and floor and even though did some super extensive closed cell foam and...

Do you have the carpet on the roof? Or is it bare fiberglass? I used a closed cell foam over the fiberglass roof then you can either buy the stock headliner from ford and stick it over using spray adhesive or buy the textured closed cell foam liner from turn offroad and cover the thin foam. The...

As others have commented already on this thread, the biggest bang for the buck is going to be sound deadening all of your doors and your floor using kiloMatt or dynomat as well as 3M Thinsulate insulation. You’ll probably end up spending about $500 and a few afternoons doing it, but you will...
