Show me your Boot Install

[fatcatman]

Ok factcatman and eternal rage, 1. How do you still have windows in your cars? my slightly smaller build in my fiat used to pop the rear window out! 2. The mk4 has loads of interior rattles, does that not just pick up every little rattle?

LOL, i would imagine it would take a lot to pop a window out!

I have spent a while placing strategic bits of sound deadening where the rattles are worst-
The front and back door cards,the window motor in the front doors, the plastic trim on the boot door and the roof liner

my windows havent fallen out yet and i have had one very loud system... and no probs this one i hope is the same!

Probably cause it was a fiat lol. Funny because its true.

But I have been thiking the same lately, what are the chances of my window falling out when I go more powerful.

i think with the fiat the biggest problem was the rear window was held in with a rubber seal and not bonded like most are now!

err not when its was a fiat chinq, which had a rubber seal that held the rear window in! lol

1)Bondage!!! As in they are bonded windows!!! Lol, they arent going anywhere fast.... will take more than your average subs to take it out. Had a couple of Alpine X-Types in mine (1000W RMS a piece) and the boot tried opening itself everything the bass kicked in, but window looked right as rain...

2)In the Mk4 Ibiza and the Leon there is a "vent" inside the inner bumper bodywork(from the bumper void into the boot void). It has plastic slats that are very loose and with all the air moving around due to the subs they do rattle an awful lot. They are surplus to requirements, can just be removed. Not too painful to remove on time or difficulty iirc . This straight away will be a lot better on the old rattle front...

 

[RichieRich]

were is this "vent" you talk off? i might do mine! as every ibiza i have has rattled at the rear end...

Lift up the floor to get to your spare wheel and you will see it

The rear wiper rattles the most I have found. Lift it up and its much much quieter rattle wise.

 

[RichieRich]

my wiper dont rattle well not yet anyway lol

Thats the one
You remeber whether there was one centrally or one each side, cant remember off hand...

Other rattles are as mentioned the Wiper, which can be replaced for a aero style wiper, softens the rattle, or removed if you are hard-core for no rattle at all...

...also make sure your numberplate is not screwed down, instead lots of adhesive strips from the sticky pad type fixing kit... much quieter...

...if the boot lid itself rattles, the two rubber twisty things near the corners of the tailgate can be adjusted (when boot open) to hold the bootlid slightly further away from the locking latch (when it is closed) so they dont vibrate against each other.

These are all little things, but if you want it right, dont cut corners...

They sound horrendous i agree! Mine make a lush farting noise when the sub's cranked up.

there is some amazing installs here, gave me some great ideas. unfortunatly i am on the save for a 1.9 ibiza fr next year. as i am sick of the 1.2, then i am going to give the car to a specialist, get fleeced on installing it, but it will look amazing. i have been informed that jl is the way forward so there what i am looking in to

 

[RichieRich]

Jl are amazing but so is Genisis mate who are above Jl in my mind! just spectacular Sound quality! or a bose system sounds the nuts to!

Diss - If your willing to wait till Sunday 2nd December i would wire it in for you. Ive got the a kit for you aswell. PM me. I would be up for the car wash meet.

I will have mine all done by then aswell. Let you hear it. Will get pics up on here of mine on the sunday.

 

[RichieRich]

andy would take you about 2 hours to do the job properly...

 

[CHR15B]

Doesen't take long in the Ibiza cause you can pull the side panels off the dashboard for easy access

 

[RichieRich]

i have done enough in my old ibiza's to know how long it takes.. lol specially if the plastic connectors fall out and u have to go find them... plus no rattles
