I'm in the process of insulating my trunk. I am in the process of using product# 9709T25 from McMaster-Carr - Aluminum 3-ply sound damping sheets. I chose this because it has a .21 Damping Loss Factor compared to .10 DLF of the Polymeric Mastic types and it only weighs .4lbs/sq.ft compared to 1lb/sf of the PM types. I took out my back seat and found two black plates covering holes in the chasis. I dampened these - What the heck are these covers covering (Access to the Haldex?)

Another question - Please can someone tell me how to remove these side panels.

Here is a shot of the aluminim damping material. I just started so I placed a strip on the top of the back seat to trunk area. As you can see it is fairly flexible.

Here is a shot of the other material I bought from McMaster-Carr. It is a vinyl sheeting barrier. I cut it out to the same dimensions of the trunk cover. Its product # 54665T32. I would say that it has minimal results in eliminating sound, but it does have a small affect and it is a good cover for the trunk.

If someone could tell me what the plates cover and how to remove the side panels I would appreciate it<ul><li><a href="http://www.mcmaster.com/">http://www.mcmaster.com/</a</li></ul>

Haldex can only be accessed from under the car.

Don't cover the access holes. It's where the FSU is.
