I have given up on that self-mutilation fest for now. I have 2/4 seats done.

I was just out removing interior panels to see where I can put sound insulation. I found a leak somewhere is bringing water down into the cab. I also removed the rear door panel on the passengers side, and I'm trying to determine why the door lock isn't working automatically.

Sounds like its gonna be a good, long project car. The seats look good, and I hope that your fingers heal! lol

I was just out removing interior panels to see where I can put sound insulation. You can fit the insulation pretty much everywhere. I would recomend spraying the floors, rather then lay mat.

Good luck and keep us posted ! Great ride !!!

Carey, what do you recommend? I haven't found anything yet. I'm going to look around at some of the A/V stores today that do car audio and see what they use. I found some rubber mats too that are about 1/2" thick for use in the floor and the ceiling.

You might also want to check the front window seals, mine are so bad it blows bubbles when driving in the rain. not too much of a broblem unless i've recently washed it. then the bibbles get realy big

Haha, that's crazy. I think my seals are pretty good, but I've got some sticky windows which I'm still trying to evaluate. But when the windows go up the sound goes down... somewhat...

[ssgharkness020147]

Use some dielectric grease on the inside of the window tracks (where the window slides up in the seals) to fix this. I believe HUMMER updated the design to fix this problem in later years.

I used Dynamat Xtreme, nice stuff but it is REALLY expensive. I think I spent 150.00 on just 14 sq ft, which is about enough for two layers on the doghouse! I would look on ebay, you should be able to find 100+ sq/ft for around 100-150. HUMMERDOGG, knows of a product that I would like to use next, I cant remember what its called, but I know if you do a search on the HML you will find the name.

You have doubled my production -- I have done 1 out of 4 leather covers on my truck so far since I got them in June '06
