Poly-Fill trunk area

CivicWithNav · 12-22-2005, 02:54 AM

I haven't really FULLY tested this idea/theory but here it is

POLY-FILL u buy at crafts store and whatnot

since the civic is the lowest class of honda, it lacks some insulation in the trunk lid and around it(the whole car really) So I purchased 2 bags of poly-fill and shoved them into the openings in the trunk lid hoping to reduce some vibration from speakers and reduce noise coming into the cabin. I also put some in the rear quarter panel area as well as the rear deck(from trunk area) and subwoofer

i haven't had the music up too loud but seems like it's working. less vibration to the outside trunklid.

I also had a chance to take the stupid rear deck out and put it back...I think I fixed the rear deck rattle which was driving me crazy!

try it out I think it's a CHEAP mod that can be benefitial.

Thanks for the tip! Less rattle is something you can't put a price on.

Is it more or less safe in most conditions? Any nasty fumes or problems with it when you were applying it?

naw it's what you put in the dolls ...and it said non-toxic, washeable and etc... so it should be ok

I did this with a 93 accord to stop the sub from rattling the whole car. It totally did the trick although I worried about a fire and made sure to keep all bulbs away from the polyfill.

I wonder if there is a similar 'stuffable' type sound deadening material out there instead of sheets like dynamat and the like. Some real stuff meant to get rid of noise.

Use polyfill.
