Land Rover Defender TD5. Fitting a Britpart Dynamat sound deadening bonnet (Hood) kit (DA8093)

[@joewakeford]

Great video! Nicely done. My kit has been sitting around for a few months, awaiting a nice relaxed afternoon to take care of it. Do you think it's doable without removing the bonnet (our Landy is a post-2007 Puma)?

[@MikeMakesIt]

Hi and thanks. Yes it’s possible without removing the bonnet but there is nothing to it to take it off and it would be so much easier if our was on a bench. I’m not sure if the bonnets differ on my 2001 to yours though. Thanks for watching 👍🏽

[@joewakeford]

Cheers Mike. Yeah, the Puma bonnet is easy to remove, I replaced the hinges and bolts a while back and took 'er off. Just being lazy. I'll let you know how I get on when the time comes!

[@MikeMakesIt]

Please do, but give yourself the afternoon for the job though and plenty of tea!!

[@andreasfakis6528]

great for Rovers that drive for hours under the hot sun, but what sound improvement can you expect with an open engine bay bottom and with wing side vents?

[@MikeMakesIt]

It did make a difference but not a massive one for me.

[@ResponseDigitalMedia]

So... what of improvement did you hear?

[@MikeMakesIt]

Hi, there was definitely a dumbing down of the usual sound I experience and I could genuinely hear the radio better. Whilst I didn't expect silence I do think it is a good improvement. Mike

That's sounds like it did nowt.

Can you re-spray over the sound kit?

[@MikeMakesIt]

Hi James. I've had a look on both the Dynamat and Silent Coat sites and cannot find any specific about over painting apart from this link to Dynamat that does mention it should be fitted before the paint process. www.dynamat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/2010-Dynamat-Xtreme-Sell-Sheet_Web.pdf At the end of the day you would be painting on an aluminium surface with an exposed "sticky edge". Possibly it may need some pretreatment before a final overcoat? Not sure if that helps you? Let me know how you get on, thanks for the comment and for watching 👍🏽
