Introduction
The sound/noise insulation and vibration deadening properties of almost any vehicle (except high-end luxury vehicles) can be improved through the installation of various sound insulating and vibration deadening/damping materials.
Jimnys are no exception there. They are relatively cheap vehicles, and therefore all of them have relatively poor sound insulation applied from the factory.
Installation
The general principles of choosing and installing sound insulation and vibration deadening/damping materials in a Jimny are all the same as in most other vehicles, so educate yourself about them elsewhere.
Also don't forget to factor in the work of dismantling the interior trim and assembling it back together.
Start educating yourself on this generic world Wikipedia article.
The good news regarding Jimnys in this process are:
- Their interior is relatively easy to dismantle;
- They are quite small vehicles, so they need relatively small amounts of material and relatively small amount work to apply them;
Recommended additional works
While you are having the rear interior of the car dismantled in order to install sound insulation, you might use the opportunity to perform some additional modifications along the way:
- Installation of a pair of rear speakers;
- Rust protection of the body cavities through the application of wax for example;
- Note: Do not apply anything on the panels on which you intend to apply sound deadening materials!
- After applying sound deadening materials and letting them cure for a while, you might apply small amounts of wax on any remaining exposed naked parts of the body panels;
- Rear cabin lamp installation and wiring;
- Installation of wires for rear parking sensors, tow bar, rear reversing camera, concealed GPS tracking unit, 12 V DC charging outlet in the trunk, whatnot, etc.
Examples of Jimnys with applied sound insulation
Most of these examples have been stumbled upon on the Internet. No evaluation of the quality or purposefulness of the work in them has been performed!
- Example 1 on a Jimny 3 from Russia;
