Do-it-yourself boot soundproofing

Experienced motorists know that the luggage compartment is also a decent source of noise, so they pay a lot of attention to soundproofing this part of the car. This is especially true for cars such as a hatchback or station wagon, where the trunk is almost a single unit with the interior. You can find out the prices for Shumkov and choose one for your car in our online store in a special section at the link .

The main stages of soundproofing the trunk

It is worth noting that in addition to reducing noise, using these materials, you can also improve the acoustics in the cabin and thermal insulation.

Let's divide this work into two parts:

1. Silencing the trunk lid;
2. Noise reduction directly to the niche of the luggage compartment.

Trunk soundproofing process

Work should start from the trunk itself, and then go to the lid:

• Completely empty the luggage compartment;
• We disassemble and remove the casing;
• Degrease the surface with alcohol and rags.
• Then, after drying, we glue the vibration-proof material (vibration damper). We do it end-to-end, roll it with a special roller.
• After that, we glue Shumka (noise insulation), roll it with a roller.

Note: A moisture-repellent material must be used to process the spare wheel well so that corrosion does not form in the future.

• After the trunk bowl is pasted over, you can proceed to the processing of the lid. Such a process is identical to soundproofing the hood , which we wrote about earlier.
• Finally, install the trim in place.

That's all, do-it-yourself trunk Shumka is completed. We hope that you will successfully cope with such a simple job, and our recommendations will come in handy.
