Sound insulation for the VR
I found some spare time today to work on insulating the tailgate of my VR. Since the JRL mod, long trips (my routine) present a droning tone that radiates from the cavity of the rear of the wagon.
The entire process was really very simple. Everything came apart easily and snapped right back into place. Using a Dynamat-like product, first I cut small pieces and placed them into the cavities of the tailgate against the back of the exterior metal. Then, I applied one complete sheet, 48"x16", on the lower portion of the tailgate.
This is step one; I will address the spare tire area next.
