Brent,

Thanks for the info.  I hadn't thought about doing the seat pedestals and
there was several other points in there I missed.

I checked out your site before, but missed the insulation part.  I guess
work got in the way.  I hate it when that happens.

I am also going to check out sew fine again.

thanks,

Dana

Original message

I purchased a 100 sq ft bulk pack of some stuff called FatMat and had enough
to do my 91 Multivan's engine deck (including covering the lid), under the
bench seat, the front seat podiums (in and out), the entire front cabin
floor, both front doors and the slider. I used the foil bubble stuff from
Home Depot to insulate the rear passenger area side panels, and the rear
door.

I'm blown away at how quiet the van is now. I would urge you to install
against the inside of the exterior skin instead of inside the panels. And
you may want to consider doing over and around the front seats. Deadening
the road noise from the wheel well makes a big diff.

I have some pics of the project out on my site if you're interested or
bored.
