Replacing a model X wheel liner

Replacing a model X wheel liner on the rear right side.

Hey just wondering if you remember seeing any soundproofing material after removing the liner? I’m thinking about sound proofing my 2020 x and wanted to start with the wheel arch ( supposedly easier than the doors)

Zero sound proofing behind there. Are you thinking of getting the rubber pads to add in there?

@@teslamike7476 yes something like a kilmat/butyl based mat. I saw a few other videos/guides where people used them to soundproof the doors.

@zhaowang6834 I need to do the same. Did they have a lot of improvements from doing it? Any chance they used a sound meter to eliminate confirmation bias?

@@teslamike7476 That’s the tough part. I think it’s hard to be really scientific about it since there are so many other areas besides the doors. I can hear a real sound profile change (less white noise, more muffled) from one person’s video. But he did so much work and did all the doors. I’m not sure I’m handy enough.

@@teslamike7476 he did 4 doors + wheel arches… Kudoes to that. I think I can start with just the wheels…
