Re: Bulkhead soundproofing!
You mean the exterior or interior? Exterior is always damp, it picks up water from wet roads and moisture from damp air. Bit like leaving a carpet outside during winter. On my old auto, I could physically rinse the bottom of it Not a good idea, water + metal = you know what...

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Re: Bulkhead soundproofing!
At the last MOT my V6 picked up an advisory for corrosion on the bottom of the bulkhead. Dread to look at it now!

Can't even drive it at the moment, and have no access underneath...

Re: Bulkhead soundproofing!
Have you tried looking at the bottom of the bulkhead from above the engine in a V6?

Re: Bulkhead soundproofing!
What difference does removing it make sound wise inside the car?
