Removing Dynamat?

[FordFarmer]

Have you done it? Is it a PITA?

I'm looking to reduce noise in my driver. Searched and read up on the name brand stuff and cheaper alternatives, more or less have a plan. It's a great truck but I'm driving it into a restoration. Might be two years away, might be 10...I don't know. Not sure I want to create more work for myself later by laying down yards of this stuff now. Whatever it is it will be under the currently installed vinyl floor, and above the hardboard headliner.

As an aside, was quarter panel trim an option in '71? I see that I can buy it to match my sport door panels but I'm trying to keep it looking mostly stock-ish. But it seems that it would help a bunch if I insulated the quarters and put some panels in.

Thanks!

Seems like you could just stick it to the mat instead of the floor.Not sure about the headliner as it is a little heavy.Could even use the regular old wool type insulation.

On the roof I used alluminam foil bubble wrap from lowes and double stick tape to hold it and it made the top warmer and quieter. Just a thought

Yup, I was looking at that stuff too. Another guy used hot glue to secure his insulation. I think either the tape or hot glue (I've had the pleasure of removing both before) would be easier to clean up down the road than peel & stick matting of any brand. I think some (maybe less than optimal) simple solutions would yield big improvements and easier removal down the road. Thanks!

If it's never going out in the rain topless, buy a couple rolls of carpet jute for the floor, no adhesives required.

Properly installed dynamat is a mess to remove. Think of it like cleaning up spilled roofing tar with foil on top.
