Further to Jack's noise reduction quest, what he didn't tell you in his initial message was that he makes a replacement rear window out of thicker material which actually fits directly into the opening.
My thin, original window had a big scratch in it (I still have no idea how it got there....), so I took the plunge and had him make me one of his replacements.
Wow! I started the car after installing the window and the reduction in engine noise level in the cabin is impressive. Plus, the material he uses (what is it, Jack?) is much clearer and wipes off easily when dirty without scratching.
He's asking $250 plus shipping for them and I have to say I'd thoroughly recommend it.
FWIW,
Kirby

The tin foil looking stuff is Dynamat and I really like it, it goes on pretty easy and does a great job, I even put it inside the doors and now when you shut the doors it even sounds some what like a normal door. I put the insulation on the front of the tub and plugged all the holes (all this was told to me by Mike T. long before) where the hoses and other items went through, this helped a GREAT deal and on the back of the cab and plugged all those holes, if you do anything at all this will make you happy. The Dynamat is sort of like a sticky tar and when you put it on I am not sure if you will get it off so be sure you can live with it, I have put it on the tub of the left front tire and plan on the right soon as time will allow.
Mike showed up this afternoon and we went for a spin, 90 outside and we were comfortable and didn't have to use to many hand signs. |
