MG Midget and Sprite Technical - sound damping hardtop
What sound damping material can you advice for the inside of my hardtop? Flip |

Try Woollies Trim. They are a really good company and will be able to supply you with the soundproofing material and also some headlining material to make it look nice. Lovely looking car, Flip. |

Agreed, nice Frog. My Parrish top is lined with thick grey felt, which seems to work pretty well. But as you well know, your car's never going to be "quiet" with a hardtop! It merely closes in a lot of noise. What it DOES remove, though, is the wind buffet noise you get with a softtop, and (in my case, anyway), it cures any drafts. -:G:- |

Dynamat is great stuff, but not the cheapest: http://www.dynamat.com/ |

>it cures any drafts Drafts are the main thing keeping the condensation at bay when it's raining! |

I had my hard top professionally sprayed with that rhino truck bed liner stuff...it tured out realy nice, Ill see if I can post some pics tomarrow. I had both the inside and the outside done I wouldnt use the DIY stuff. go to a pro, it looks much nicer, No mess (which is really nasty stuff) and its not vary expensive ... about $75 is what I paid to ghave mine done.

Alex see photo. This is what i use now. Prop, Rhino liner looks good but I can’t find a professional spray shop. I have seen some grey stuff; flocks glued but I don’t know anything about sound damping (http://www.frost.co.uk/ interor trim flock Flip |

Under my carpet, I used 1/8" sound deadening cork, as used by ceramic tile setters. It's easy to handle and cut. I applied it with spray-on contact cement and it has held up well. Some advantages are; ease of use, low cost, specifically made to deaden sound, and it provides a nice clean smooth surface to apply headliner or carpet onto. Phil 'what did you say?' |
