daverclasper Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Hi. Fitted between support struts and top area of boot skin. Some are missing on mine. Are they to prevent any vibration, drumming noise?. If so can they make much difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahebron Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Thanks Dave that has reminded me they are missing on my car. I did try gluing a sound pad on the underside of the boot lid but the super strong spray adhesive was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 every little helps who knows if the pads are to damp panel drumming or just steady the boot skin but the answer is it better to have them than not pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn wright Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 What do they look like?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 just a flatish strip around 1" x 4" x 3/8" thick thats a rough guess never seen a new one but have a reduced groove to retain under the support bars ( due to settlement ) you could use any suitable rubber glued or self adhesive etc orig was 608643 eg Packing Sponge - Short - 608643 | Rimmer Bros Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Canley list it as in stock, according to them you need 5 pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 while I was outside doing some painting I took a sneaky look in the boot of my 13/60. There are 4 of those pads, why Canley's say you need 5 I don't know unless they count putting it behind the upper fixing for the boot stay. On mine there is what looks like a bit of a scouring pads, usually green although this one is black. 3 of the 4 pads have shrunk and weren't doing anything so a quick measure and cut of some plastazote (thanks Disneyland) to pad out the pads. No idea if they do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Not sure what plastazone is?, though I guess that white plasticky, sort of NOT too compressible foam, that's often used in packaging, could be used?. I always save it as it looks kinda useful. Maybe now's the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff we have is 3mm thick and I use it for all sorts of jobs, it was just the thickness needed to pack out the pads fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
