hey guys.
i'm prepping to do my first sound deadning job on a rear tailgate of a 4door tracker. was wondering if anyone knows offhand a good website that has step by step pics of sound deadning installs, please share here. i wouldnt mind something with pics to guide me.
my 1st (and dumbest) question refering to the pics i've included is i assume i shuld remove the plastic barrier and replace it with the deadning material direct to the outer 'frame like' metal work. or shuld i apply it deep inside the recessed flat area? this is where the vibrating occurs but this seems like it will be a much more difficult job to apply. will removing the platstic barrier cause rusting to take place inside there much quicker? i assume the plastic was there to impede moisture. maybe i shuld spray some undercoating inside b4 putting the deadner to the frame?
next notice the wires for the rear license plate lighting and not sure if its also for rear defogger. if applying the deadner on the outer frame, i'm not gonna be able to access these wires, would that be a problem, or shuld i pull them out and tape them ontop of the deadner after installation so i can still access them. maybe someone with more automtive experience can help since i dont know how important accessing these wired would be and whether this extra step is required.
any other hints and suggestions would b greatly appreciated. thanks!
