Fixed all the Rattles and squeaks
 
Our 94 is a crazy squeaker! I used this stuff and now the car feels like a Benz! ;)

Seriously, the felt works well so I thought I would pass it on. It looks and feels just like the OEM felt you see all over the car and in the dash et. It's black and thin. Good stuff.

stiff suspension and mounts are a recipe for rattles

wait a moment, are you telling me you put felt in your coin holder so now you have no squeaking sounds? lmao

gracer7-rx7 05-28-10 06:03 PM

That is pretty cool. I bought some felt and spray on adhesive to do some of my parts. Peel and stick would be much easier.

My door plastics vibrate over grainy road surfaces. Lots of squeaks and rattles as a result. Annoying.

I need to do this, did you just peel back the film and brush it on? Where did you buy?

c32amg 05-28-10 08:20 PM

The stuff that I bought from HERE already has adhesive on the back. It's peel and stick.

It looks JUST like OEM felt you find on window liners and under the dash.

I used it on the rear bins, under the door armrests, in-between places in the dash where plastic touches plastic, in the hatch area. The FD is super quiet now. ;)

:icon_tup: Great idea. I've had noises from nearly all those places you mentioned and a few others...rear divider comes to mind. I used little daubs of clear silicone caulk. It worked fine, but you always had to let it set-up before allowing the pieces to come back together.The felt would've been easier in alot of spots.

+1 just bought some more moleskin from Tint Protector and it stopped all the rattles in two of my cars. The FD is rattle free again!

MattGold 12-07-10 04:34 PM

Why do I get the sneaky suspicion you are trying to drive traffic to that site? :)

Anyhow, another great trick is to use Non-Curing Butyl (like for windshield installs). It's a putty like material that great and killing squeaks.

You own an 04 rx7??

Im jealous.

O wait, nevermind. Not really.

However i am jealous you own the other 2 cars in your sig.

I love those cars.

t-von 12-07-10 04:59 PM

To hell with all this talk. Someone with experience needs to do a write-up. :) I know each of our cars is different but, there will still be some universal locations that will need this felt. I would like to do some of this when I get ready to strip my car down for painting.

c32amg 12-08-10 12:09 PM

I'm not trying to drive traffic to the site. The stuff really works. It looks and feels just like the OEM stuff I found behind the dash.

I used it behind the stereo, glove box, rear storage compartments, trunk area et et

I just added a 2010 GTR to the stable. Ran 10's with just a tune!

Damn your garage is the shizzznit!

spanks13 12-08-10 05:57 PM

Did you put this stuff in the GTR?

MattGold 12-08-10 08:11 PM

Nah - the driving traffic comment was just a joke. That stuff does seem great.

However, around 5% of your posts include that link, AND the company is out of S. Florida, sooooo...yeah. ;)

c32amg 12-09-10 09:16 AM

Ran 10.9 @127 in the GTR last night at PBIR. ;) Only mod is a tune!
