Default Insulation/Frost King-Installation

Finished installing the Frost King insulation in the rear hatch area. A noticeable reduction in road noise. In addition, I added some Frost King blanket insulation (no foil) in the cargo compartments. I just kept it in the package and put at the bottom of the storage boxes. An additional reduction in sound was noted. For about $60, this was a great mod and encourage other members to try.

Thanks again to Mercury Mike for the great write-up and his quick responses to my questions.

Sounds like a good investment. I've been meaning to do this as well. My friend did it and was very impressed with the results.

Tim (aka Mike Mercury) has a great informative site.
