RD1 Plastic/ rubber sound

[BlackSamurai]

Hi All,

I think some RD1 owner experience this, there rubber and plastic sound from the cabin. Any solution for that?

Shall I just replace all rubber inside the cabin? LOL

does RD2 having the same problem?

GK i bet don't have

Scoupe, not sure.

What kind of sound you are referring too. My deskboard has a little bit of sound emitting from it. But other area is fine. I install my door panel with RAAMAT sound mat. so it really help kill out all noise. The rear board, I put in extra sponge to keep it from moving. So, no problem at all.

:)

oh yah, i'm suppose to install the mat or the foam. totally forgot about the project..

 

[Ace]

Mat is better effect than the foam. But combine both yield even better results. :)

For what I'd experienced, if I leave my Coupe under the sun for quite some time, it will emit all those plastic sounds as if the plastic had touched each other after they expand from the heat they absorbed.
Coupe is not suitable to be under the sun. I have two tiny little cracks on my dashboard already.

Danial,
Mined would be opposite of yours. My only have tiny crack on the meter deskboard. what to do, they are design for 4 season country not like ours all year long hot and humid.

Uhhhhh....... Why our Coupes must have those fate?
Anyway, where can we repair those cracks?
It hurts me everytime I see those tiny cracks.

i also facing the same problem from behind.....i can hear "kokoko" sounds from behind when i travel on uneven road.....other than that there is no other sounds....
i have tried check many time but cannot get rid of the sound......i know which part the sounds come from but never manage 2 stop it....it is from rear left side

 

[BlackSamurai]

kelvin, the "kokoko" sound can be solved by putting a double sided tape on the rear booth hock. and adjust the 2 rubber at the rear booth.

Ace taught me that in old forum.

 

[Ace]

BS,
wow...that also you remember till now ah? But "ko ko ko" sound might lead to suspention problem also leh.

 

[BlackSamurai]

[BlackSamurai]

[Daniel Lee]

BS, so you are saying we are at fault la???...............hehehe...........

 

[BlackSamurai]

hahahahaha .

 

[Ace]

Guys,
BS was refering to the rear hatch lock hinges. Some of the coupe might emitted some annoying sound. The rear desk board can contribute to some sound also when it bounce up and down. I use extra sponge to hold it.

BS,
Photo shot you are better lah..

 

[Daniel Lee]

Can post photo ah? Still don't have any idea how it looks like.
