The Volkswagen Golf GTI / MK7 is not only fun to drive, it is cool and stylish. It is a good compact car, with a hot hatchback and amazing performance. The Volkswagen Golf GTI / MK7 includes a turbocharged engine which provides tons of power for city and highway driving.
While the Volkswagen Golf GTI / MK7 is a pretty refined vehicle, owners are often surprised by the amount of engine, tire, and road noise, which can negatively affect your ability to enjoy music or have a conversation on the road. Interior cabin noise, resulting from a lack of automotive sound deadening or insulation, is one of the limitations of the Volkswagen Golf GTI / MK7.
B-Quiet Automotive Sound Deadening
We owned a Volkswagen Golf GTI and loved zipping around town, but we were surprised by how loud the vehicle was on the road. We did not want to get rid of the car, so we contacted B-Quiet.com and they recommended applying Ultimate Automotive Sound Deadener in a few key places to dampen the noise.
Applying Ultimate in your Volkswagen Golf GTI / MK7
B-Quiet recommends applying Ultimate Sound Deadener to the floor, all four doors, under the rear bench and in the trunk of your Volkswagen Golf GTI / MK7. Two or three rolls of B-Quiet Ultimate Sound Deadender should be enough to cover the entire vehicle.
Ultimate can be applied to the floor, by removing the carpet and seats. Ultimate can also be applied to all four doors and under the rear bench and in the trunk. You simply remove the interior panels and apply Ultimate to all metal surfaces. The peel and stick process is simple and takes about 2-3 hours.
For additional insulation, you can apply B-Quiet HLiner under the hood of your Volkswagen Golf GTI / MK7 to reduce engine noise.
