Appreciate it!!

That killmat job is fantastic

I'm a little late but I'm going through my Rav4 with Soundskins and that 4 pin connector is for the JBL Subwoofer.

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely interesting stuff.

The lack of sound deadning is shocking .. I had to insulate my Camry 2020 because of the shitty Steel gauge

Is there a easy way to apply some sound dampening sheets to the back part of the roof without taking the whole headliner out? I have a sunroof so it would be easier to at least get the back of the roof. Sounds like a tin roof when you get a pounding rain.

Man where would one go to have this done

Appreciate your videos! How much of an improvement have you noticed in road/wind noise by installing the sound deadening? Say, if stock is a 10/10 noise rating then what would your current setup be rated?

Not a lot but only because the roof rack (Prinsu) threw away all the effort of wind noise reduction. My future plan now is to make a removable Prinsu Roof Rack. Don't drop the headliner just to install sound deadening. Too much work for that little gain.

Hi mate, great video! I watched some videos about the RAV4 roof rack leaking, did you found any issue of it?

My vehicle never had leak issues but I know several Rav4 owners have. I believe I know why and I'll be posting a video about it.

Are you going to do a video about all the sound deadening material you installed? I want to strategically place material to make the cabin nicer. Thanks!

I was not thinking about making a video. Maybe I can in the future. I don't think there is a strategy to installing these. Just cover up to 80% of any surface you are working on. You can see my subwoofer install video and door speaker install video to have a look at the sound deadening material in those areas.

@@Rav4Gen5 How much added weight do you think you have added to the RAV4 with all the sound deadening panels? Did you use a audio meter to determine the loudest areas? Thanks!

@@zennoodle I probably added 25 lbs. (1 and a half boxes). Totally worth it. I never did a sound meter test but I have driven an LE without deadening and it's horrible.

I will say I think the range of the remote is impacted. Feel like it does not reach from far. It gets annoying.

My trd leaks water from the right top side, I think it’s from the rack rail cause it drips right from the passenger roof handle

Yes it is. I'll cover that issue in a video but right now, you go to a dealer to fix it.

How much does the deadener on the roof help? I have done all 5 doors, and the trunk. I am debating dropping the headliner just to put deadener up there.

@@thetechlibrarian It helps with road noise. Hard to say by how much. However, when you supress road noise, you are hearing more the wind noise. There is always noise.
