SOUNDPROOFING THE RIBS

Haven’t seen many other van conversion videos talk about first gluing the ribs before any sound deadening but it makes perfect sense.

While Mercedes-Benz no doubt build a road beast who’s engine is capable of devouring many hundreds of thousands of miles, the body is often seemingly under cared for. Seems that when the ribs are joined to the skin of the car, there is very little interest from Mercedes for cutting down on road noise or indeed longevity.

Cut straight to 3:20 to see how The Restoration Couple make sure there aren’t any rattly ribs in your van conversion.
