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...

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.

In response to the sound insulation:
I found Hushmat for $5/SQ Foot. I cancelled the order however as I found pipe insulation, which is a foam mat of sorts, from a local HVAC company for $1.66/SQ Foot. It's a little bit on the thick side (about 1/2") but it looks like acoustic insulation, and it should be great for stuffing into the b-pillars and roof. It actually is made into cylinders later on, but I managed to get some from before it goes into that process.

Forgot to add this picture with the seats. I thought the address was amusing:

Alright, I took off the crash pad today and some other trim. Here is the heater/AC/blower unit that has to be removed, and replaced or repaired:



This is just a view looking inside from the passengers door. I hope I can remember where the three long screws and one short one came from that bolt on the trim!:



My acoustical mat is visible there in the middle. Also, I am in the process of selecting a new audio system. I have been looking at a Memphis audio set up for about $1000 including 4 speakers, 2 amps, and a sub. I will also be looking at a new headunit.

Foam insulation seems to be going in well. It might make squeaks when driving, but this has YTD. It is easy to cut, very flexible, and expands when you let it go so it fills up the space, and holds itself in. Seems like it will dampen the sound significantly if I can put enough in.

Time to go looking for A/V equipment!
