Front Arch sponge removal
« on: April 15, 2017, 07:11:38 pm »
Removed the sponge in the front arches there should I place soundening back into the arches, I have some rubber/tar audio deadening dynamat lying around so it shouldn't get moisture. Just want to see if anyone noticed more noise from removing the sponge or placed sound deadening in

I removed mine a month ago and haven't noticed any difference at all.

The sponge had been removed on my mk4 golf when I got it and I believe it's why it's remained rust free!

Removed the sponge and place dynamat xtreme in it, it's made from tar and a thin aluminium sheet on top so shouldn't rust either. Also had enough to do the spare wheel well, you'd be surprised how much noise they make in cars
