one? those this causes any harm or some illness in your health after all it is roof material? You know many of us do have children and i know nobody wants too harm them .Thanks
@MrJaiden13 read the product description when you go to home depot.and if you really cared about your kids you would not put them in vw with no air bags and exaust fumes.
Can you put a double layer of the qr? Im not vry good at shifting (yet) but i heard the semi-autos are more trouble than they're worth. Do u have any experience with them? Also, i live in texas and the inside of the car gets vry hot... Is there anything like the stuff u used that i can put on the roof that would help? Thx!
Hey chris i went to home depot and they didnt have "quick roof" and none of the workers really knew what that was, so i had to go with a different brand that is originally for sealing windows.
Great video thanx for the tip. We do short instructional cilps for classic vws also. check it out, maybe it will help you with your car. youtube.com/user/uniquepartsaircooled?feature=mhum#p/a/u/0/KXWHBx63ygk
Hey Chris, I'm thinking about using this technique to deaden the sound in my bug, but i'm also planning on doing a full resto in the future. do you recommend waiting until the resto before i put down the insulation? Also do you apply POR-15 to the floor of the car? and if so, does the quick roof stick to it? thanks
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I have a 98 Honda CR-V. I put some on the inside floor board, but I have heard that putting something under the hood can help with engine noise coming through the wind shield. I just don't want it to fall off when it gets hot and fall on the engine. That wouldn't be good. Thanks again.
@shelteru I have never put it back there, I always use the tar board material that VW put in there. If you want to quiet the noise down, just put another layer down in the luggage are behind the back seat.
This is a great video. I can't wait to try this stuff out on my Mustang and my 240SX. I looked through the comments and glad to hear that the Quick Roof does not smell, I have read that the Peel n Stick does give off a strong odor.
I really dont know what is the old school sound, this one sounds like a turbine, more like a supercharger and te pitch goes hig at hig rpm :s I'll try to make a video
I have a dumb question..do you know how to make the engine sound like a turbine?,I have a 2000 mexican VW and sounds like a turbine since I went to the mechanic,and this guy just suposed to change the alternator but he told me that it will fade away but no,I mean I like it, but would like to know if its bad for the engine? or something.I went to a lot of VW shows here in Tijuana and a lot of guys have that sound, but these guys are not dayly drivers, most of them just tow their rides thanx :)
@niel80 check your belt pullys amd make sure they are aligned correctly you may need to change belts.your mechanic probably used the cheapest one he could find. Get one with Aramid noise resistant fibers embedded in the rubber . Auto Zone should carry them. I had the same problem with my 96 Grand Prix but like you i liked the sound so I left it alone. Thats all it sounds like to me it should be ok though.
@brighteyefilms cool but will it make any difference if i put it on the floor and wheel well and arches? cuz i have a puegeot 307 2L HDI and when i put my sub in it, it rattle like hell i was trying to find out where the rattle noise was coming from and it was the trunk door so shall i just apply it there? thanks for helping me out. i really appreciate it! :)
if i want to stop exterior sounds from coming in like road noise should i put those materials down first and then put quick roof down? or could i apply the mats to keep exterior sound out over the quick roof?
i love your videos! ^^ i've been saving up to buy a bug of my own.. i'm just wondering... what bug models have the battery below the backseat (they say it easily catches fire)... i'm asian and very petite what model is best for me? or if not, what alteration (new pedals?) can i do to the car to make driving easier? please help me out... (~_~)
@jooginz All bugs have the battery below the backseat. They sell these marine batteries today that are in an enclosed case, very safe. As far as pedals? Do you not want a clutch? There are bugs out there that are semi automatic that have just two pedals and all you do is shift. maybe that is something you can look into.
@Tozza Hi, its just Wickes own brand adhesive flashing, comes in various widths/lengths, its about £16 for a roll about 10 inches wide and plenty long enough!
Holy crap thank you thank you thank you for this info. This sparks a revolution in my mind. One quick question: What kind of adhesive would you suggest using to stick the carpet backing to the top of the Quick Roof? Oh, and do you think adding two layers of Quick Roof instead of one would make a noticeable in sound deadening, since it's so cheap? Thanks so much for this tutorial, keep up the great work!
@r0ckworthy 3M Spray adhesive is good, but be sure to get the spray that has the goose neck on it, because it has a more direct stream as apposed to a standard nozzle that sprays everywhere. All those fine particles of glue get all over the car. You can do two layers, but I have never had to. One layer with then a jute carpet pad on top is fine, or just the QR is fine.
Yo Chris do you know how to hook up brake lights to the brake pedal? I need to bypass my master cylinder cause I put a disc brake kit on my car. I have a 61 falcon :) Been on the lookout for quickroof also but need to be able to drive first. Thanks brotha.
hey chris... i would like to do the trunk lid of my car because i have a stereo and the subs reflect off the lid... but what i am concerd about this stuff comming off in the heat and ruining my expencive equiptment.... do you think this stuff would stay up in a upside down location. plz be honest cuz i would rather spend 100$ then ruin 100's
THANKS for the GREAT tip Chris !! I just installed this stuff on the barn doors of my 1988 chevy suburban to reduce vibrations/rattles from my two 15" subwoofers... it worked out perfect !! i also stuffed the inside of the doors with carpet padding as well.. all my buddies are gonna do the same to their rides now.. u saved me and them a good chunk of cash.. SCREW DYNAMAT !! thanks again !!
Awesome! I just spoke to a rep from the quickroof company, he said there is little to no odor on this stuff and it is not toxic or hazardous in anyway. This is all I have been saying about this product, it is great!
Hey Chris, i am 16 years old from England and i am restoring a 1970 vw beetle i was just wonder is there any good websites to get vw parts from ? that a fairly cheap but also good because it is very difficult to find good parts with out breaking the bank haha love you videos keep making them :)
I just did this today on my 71 Super Beetle. Took about an hour and a half and not hard at all to do. You're right Chris, it deadens the engine sound BIG time! Next up, installing my carpet.
have you read any of these comments? I would not do it if it didn't work, nor make video and waste time. I am not making any money off of this, so I have no reason to put out any false claims. You need some deadening in a VW, the engine is right behind the back seat, this stuff stops the vibration big time. Just Carpet on metal will not do anything.
First, thanks that video it's great tip i finally put it in my 68' bug, it's so easy to apply, works good, i put it on the back, inside the panels and doors, but! i put it on roof but became loose and hanging in one of those 90 degrees hot days, so i removed and yes i did clean it very good before applied. so i went to get more at
Let me begin that your doing a great job....Cofair also makes a SB60 which is a 60mil product self sticking wondering if you have looked into that? or anyone else
I asked the manufacturer (Cofair) if there are any differences between Quick Roof and Peel and Seal. Their answer: None except that P&S has a nice pressed honeycomb texture. Same ingredients so the smell should be the same too.
These days there a lot of sound deadening materials that are non-toxic. Dont buy the overpriced Dynamat sh!t. Go to your local A/C installer they have it on big rolls.
Well I have put my nose to both, and the Peel and seal has a smell over the quickroof hands down. Not sure why but it does, and that is why I went with QR.
I used the same stuff and it works just as good if not better because you can double or triple up for the same price. 1 roll can do approximatly 2 doors. 1 roll cost me less than 2 square feet of dynamat, i compared it and its the same really.
I used Quick Roof on my truck 2 years ago. The only thing I'd recommend is to put some aluminum tape on each joint. It will help by not letting your carpet stick to the exposed edges of the Quick Roof. The tape will also ensure any smell will not come through. I have had no smell issues in 2 years of having it installed in the heat and humidity of AL. It's awesome!
Thanks! Great information. I just bought my daughter a 1970 Beetle. I drove it back to the Twin Cities from Sioux Falls. It was LOUD. I'll try your technique.
i think flat areas wont ever come unstickied but i dont know about the doors...especially down the road after a while of heat and gravity and door closings. the dynamat seems to have a better adhesion glue to it then this stuff for the doors that prob matters.
No I have not had a problem. As long as you roll it on with a roller and not just by hand you will be fine. As far as heat?? Remember this stuff is for roofs, do you know how hot it gets up there?
I just did this today in my 1993 full-size Blazer because I had the interior out for a carpet replacement. Seems like a good product and it DOES NOT smell bad like some people say about these products. I agree, it's probably the Peel and Seal that smells bad.
Lowe's had a product called Vycor, but Quick Roof seemed better and thicker.
I am going to cover this with Frost King self adhesive foam insulation. I may add the carpet padding too.
Anybody out there know how to repair a sunroof on a '71 SuperBeetle? Mine cranks shut, but won't pop up into it's opening properly (flush with roof). I just bought the car, so I'm not familiar with VWs yet.... Thanks in advance!!
brightey: Yes, correct, (wrong terminology). Let's try this... It cranks forward (to close) just fine, but stays DOWN rather than moving up into it's rectangular-shaped window-housing area....it just sits low in it's "hole". Water can EASILY get in the way it is.....
Hey awesome video! I just got done doing this to my 74 bug. I got the peel & seal from Lowes and carpet padding which both made a big difference!!!
As far as the smell of the peel & seal, it is was a little noticeable, nothing major at all and goes away after a couple hours.
I think the carpet padding made more of a difference only cause its like 5 times as thick as the roofing material. It took 3 roles to do my whole car with some overlapping.
ok i was just making sure cause i know this stuff works cause your pretty reputable chris haha. but yeah i was going to get some dynamat but i aint got that money and i don't need name brand cause if that stuff works good then i'm set
thanks you just saved me a lot of over priced name brand mistake money then. 8)
i asked some others about it and they said that this stuff likes to stick at first on roof and doors then falls off later sometines.
ill just do my trunk and floor with it and doors with the overpriced stuff. if i gotta any extra left ill just toss it over this stuff for double. btw i luv bugs. the peoples car indeed.
"quote" Taking into account the high risk you experience with some asphalt deadeners/ ? wtf that mean?. that stuff toxic or somethin? i just want sound deading.
wouldnt 2 layers of carpet or that under carpet insulation with 2 layers of good carpet do about the same and be cheaper than that fat mat dynamat stuff?
how exactly does this compare to the real stick down sound stuff acoustically?.
Great tip. I havent tried this yet my bug is in the process of being painted. I saw someone said the interior of a car,s temp. exceeds that of a roof. NO WAY. If you don't believe me try standing on your roof barefoot in the middle of summer! I looked at the msds sheet on the quick roof website. this material isnt affected by heat until 200 degrees fahrenheit. If your car gets that hot your living on the sun.
Hi I was wondering if I could apply herculiner on top of this that's what I plan to do to my car

I just did this today on my 71 Super Beetle. Took about an hour and a half and not hard at all to do. You're right Chris, it deadens the engine sound BIG time! Next up, installing my carpet.
TTURedRaidr 2 years ago
Hell yeah!! Glad it worked out. You can put some of the carpet padding on top of the quickroof for even more deadening too.
brighteyefilms 2 years ago
LOL! Getting fired up there, Chris? haha! Good one.

so does this stuff work? any good. is it worth all the trouble?
teamkvs 2 years ago
have you read any of these comments? I would not do it if it didn't work, nor make video and waste time. I am not making any money off of this, so I have no reason to put out any false claims. You need some deadening in a VW, the engine is right behind the back seat, this stuff stops the vibration big time. Just Carpet on metal will not do anything.
brighteyefilms 2 years ago
First, thanks that video it's great tip i finally put it in my 68' bug, it's so easy to apply, works good, i put it on the back, inside the panels and doors, but! i put it on roof but became loose and hanging in one of those 90 degrees hot days, so i removed and yes i did clean it very good before applied. so i went to get more at

yeah I have never tried it on the roof, I was going to but never did. So it did not stay? I see them put Dynamat on the roof of cars.

Oh forgot....That Cofair is also making a product that does not have asphalt to compete with others
carlostam11 2 years ago
Hey there Cris,
Let me begin that your doing a great job....Cofair also makes a SB60 which is a 60mil product self sticking wondering if you have looked into that? or anyone else
carlostam11 2 years ago
Hi Chris,
I asked the manufacturer (Cofair) if there are any differences between Quick Roof and Peel and Seal. Their answer: None except that P&S has a nice pressed honeycomb texture. Same ingredients so the smell should be the same too.
These days there a lot of sound deadening materials that are non-toxic. Dont buy the overpriced Dynamat sh!t. Go to your local A/C installer they have it on big rolls.
keesdijkstra89 2 years ago
Well I have put my nose to both, and the Peel and seal has a smell over the quickroof hands down. Not sure why but it does, and that is why I went with QR.
brighteyefilms 2 years ago
I used the same stuff and it works just as good if not better because you can double or triple up for the same price. 1 roll can do approximatly 2 doors. 1 roll cost me less than 2 square feet of dynamat, i compared it and its the same really.
phil2359 2 years ago
what if we put it @ fire wall? and then put the stock fire wall on it, if you have the engine out

I used Quick Roof on my truck 2 years ago. The only thing I'd recommend is to put some aluminum tape on each joint. It will help by not letting your carpet stick to the exposed edges of the Quick Roof. The tape will also ensure any smell will not come through. I have had no smell issues in 2 years of having it installed in the heat and humidity of AL. It's awesome!

Thanks! Great information. I just bought my daughter a 1970 Beetle. I drove it back to the Twin Cities from Sioux Falls. It was LOUD. I'll try your technique.

quick questions involving the exhuast. since these are air-cooled, would header wrap be a wise choice to keep heat out?

yo.. any info on the sloped door adhesion?.
any unsticks-fall off"s on doors yet?.
i think flat areas wont ever come unstickied but i dont know about the doors...especially down the road after a while of heat and gravity and door closings. the dynamat seems to have a better adhesion glue to it then this stuff for the doors that prob matters.
lukeslandspeeder 2 years ago
No I have not had a problem. As long as you roll it on with a roller and not just by hand you will be fine. As far as heat?? Remember this stuff is for roofs, do you know how hot it gets up there?

I wonder if "Quick Roof" is available in Ireland?
Rinty145 2 years ago
Thanks so much for posting this great how-to!
I just did this today in my 1993 full-size Blazer because I had the interior out for a carpet replacement. Seems like a good product and it DOES NOT smell bad like some people say about these products. I agree, it's probably the Peel and Seal that smells bad.
Lowe's had a product called Vycor, but Quick Roof seemed better and thicker.
I am going to cover this with Frost King self adhesive foam insulation. I may add the carpet padding too.

Usually where there is a lowes, there is a home depot nearby. And home depot has that jute padding I show in the video.

Anybody out there know how to repair a sunroof on a '71 SuperBeetle? Mine cranks shut, but won't pop up into it's opening properly (flush with roof). I just bought the car, so I'm not familiar with VWs yet.... Thanks in advance!!
CJurasin 2 years ago
Original sunroofs did not pop up, they slide back.
brighteyefilms 2 years ago
brightey: Yes, correct, (wrong terminology). Let's try this... It cranks forward (to close) just fine, but stays DOWN rather than moving up into it's rectangular-shaped window-housing area....it just sits low in it's "hole". Water can EASILY get in the way it is.....

keep us updated as how the peel and seal is holding up on youre car and ill do the same when mine os done also. 8)
the new padding as thick as you can fit under the carpet is also key to good deadening.
lukeslandspeeder 2 years ago
It is great, my 54 is soo quiet. Again, I do not use the peal and seal, I found the quick roof to be better.
cv
brighteyefilms 2 years ago
Hey awesome video! I just got done doing this to my 74 bug. I got the peel & seal from Lowes and carpet padding which both made a big difference!!!
As far as the smell of the peel & seal, it is was a little noticeable, nothing major at all and goes away after a couple hours.
I think the carpet padding made more of a difference only cause its like 5 times as thick as the roofing material. It took 3 roles to do my whole car with some overlapping.
I highly recommend doing this
jeremyhin1 2 years ago
Yeah no doubt. Thats why I said I had a smell with Peal and Seal, but so far no smell with quick roof.

Yes in home depot, the roofing section.
brighteyefilms 2 years ago
thanks you just saved me a lot of over priced name brand mistake money then. 8)
i asked some others about it and they said that this stuff likes to stick at first on roof and doors then falls off later sometines.
ill just do my trunk and floor with it and doors with the overpriced stuff. if i gotta any extra left ill just toss it over this stuff for double. btw i luv bugs. the peoples car indeed.
again thanks.
lukeslandspeeder 2 years ago
So far it has not come up, you have to put it down with a roller, and she stays.

brighteyefilms 2 years ago
cool thanks. but how does it stack up against real sound deadner effectiveness?.
if its even close to 80% as effective ill get this stuff then.
lukeslandspeeder 2 years ago
It's pretty damn good. I would say it is at least 80% effective.
brighteyefilms 2 years ago
"quote" Taking into account the high risk you experience with some asphalt deadeners/ ? wtf that mean?. that stuff toxic or somethin? i just want sound deading.
lukeslandspeeder 2 years ago
It is not toxic, we have been doing it for years.

brighteyefilms 2 years ago
wouldnt 2 layers of carpet or that under carpet insulation with 2 layers of good carpet do about the same and be cheaper than that fat mat dynamat stuff?
how exactly does this compare to the real stick down sound stuff acoustically?.
lukeslandspeeder 2 years ago
Great tip. I havent tried this yet my bug is in the process of being painted. I saw someone said the interior of a car,s temp. exceeds that of a roof. NO WAY. If you don't believe me try standing on your roof barefoot in the middle of summer! I looked at the msds sheet on the quick roof website. this material isnt affected by heat until 200 degrees fahrenheit. If your car gets that hot your living on the sun.
