It doesn't seem to be retained by anything at the top and keeps faling down thus:





...getting in the way of my feet and really peeving me !


So..

1. Is there supposed to be somethign retaining it? If so, what ?
2. I presume it's insulation, but what for? Heat? noise ? both ?
3. Has anyone replacead theirs, and if so, what with?

Cheers

Hi Vlad, the top little plate/ shelf is ssupposed to support the rubber bit, and true to the laws of gravity fails dismally. It is a form of soundproofing, and most just put up with it, glue it in place, or find an alternative matting to stick up there in place of it, with a better rigidity. Sorry I haven't got any actual info on what, some who have actually done this will be able to help I'm sure.

BTW, time for some new pedal rubbers too!

It's made of a sort of card and after time is no long as stif as it use to be. So it can no longer hold its self up there as it ( as already said ) tucks into the bit of metal at the top

Few options which even you Vlad with your lack of experiance of land rovers will be able to do

Rip it out
Stick it up there
Get a new bit

What's this "pick on Vlad" day ?


I'm thinking maybe some of that resomat type stuff would work?

clark rubber sell a clear glue in a tube you normally use to fix rubber trim. i sorted the one in my 110 hard top with it.

worked very well.. just used contact cleaner to prep the rubber and the floor.

and i thought ali had you picked pretty spot on

Easy fix with a couple of tec screws and panel washers which means it's easy to remove when access is required.

What about folding that black strip that it sits under at the top so that it pinches the card against the firewall?

clubagreenie - nopt really possible I don;t think. Probably not desirable anyway.

Rick that had crossed my mind but I didnt know whether there was anything a tek screw there might screw into and bugger ! Plus I was wonderign whether there was a neater solution.
