<VV> Sound Dampening for Roof

[Hank Kaczmarek]

Jim.

Thanks for your ideas.  Only 2 questions, and I know you know the answer to 
one of them.

1. What did you use for the "Full Treatment" on your car??

2. What was the purpose of the crap that took me two hours to scrape off the 
roof??? even using a Shop vac to get most of it off the roof (thought I'd 
need a heat gun as Smitty said, but I guess the San Diego heat negated the 
need for that), I ended up looking like I'd rolled around in a coal bin!!

Some kind of treated paper I guess. But if it wasn't for soundproofing 
(since you did a convert, not debating your premise),  Why did they bother 
to put it in?? Some other purpose??  If they wanted to save money ( and not 
using a Park Pin on a PG was an example) that stuff wouldn't have been in 
there. Sure wasn't any in the door panels. and suchlike. Of course the EUM 
arrived sans door panels.  But not in other cars I stripped out either.

Thanks

HANK
