Roof felt?

Just removed the bitumen type sound deadening panels from the floor. Can anyone tell me what the correct name for this material and is it Porsche specific or obtainable as a generic product?

Also, when I replace it, is it glued into place or 'pursuaded' to drape into the recesses with a heat gun?

Thanks!

Bob

Hi Bob, you can certainly get it from the bodyshop suppliers, my last pack actually came form the local accessory shop.

You're right, they have a peel-off backing, peel it off, warm it, and the metal a bit, and just tease it into place.

The only thing I'm not sure of is how bigger size you can buy: obviously you can just butt then against each other anyway if required.

Thanks Barry. The pieces I removed were not all that large so I guess it is normal to work a small section at a time. I will sound out (no pun intended) the local bodyshop. Must have been having a 'senior moment' not to have thought of that first!

Regards,

Bob
