Sorry to hi-jack this thread, but i'm curious to find out the same as i have the noisy mk5 too . It doesn't bother me too much but if there is a cheap easy option i'm game

i always use flash tape, its ment for roofing but it works just like dyno mat,

http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/243011 ( i use this one myself)

just take the backing or heat it up a little then smooth it out and job done,

i got the ides from my mate who fits big audio systems for a living,

That Wickes one looks pretty good - ok £24 but 10m should be plenty!

Wonder if layer of that - then underlay then carpet should make quite a difference,

might even be able to get some on bulkhead too

how thick is the Wickes one???

Use this inside the doors and on the roof http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/243011
and this behind the plywood http://www.wickes.co.uk/red-plastic-wal ... vt/161235/
I done my swb Low top and yes it takes time to do it but makes a big difference

Try other DIY places as wickes are not always the cheapest ......

You'll need two layers of the Wicks flashing if you want it as thick as Dynamat Xtreme

It'll also be quite smelly at first

Smell wont bother as hopefully by time go camping will have gone.

How much was that dynamat stuff?

Well, this one's a tad too expensive http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dynamat-Xtrem ... 3a68a61041

But this is about what I paid http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DYNAMAT-XTREM ... 2a1891d5f7
