Topless Rabbit Forums

Been thinking about the carpet in my Cabriolet and how much of a pain it is to keep it clean and dry. My P71 Crown Vic has no carpet, just a rubber mat, and it's a lot more practical.

Anyone ever driven a Cabbie with the carpet removed? What was the noise level like? I'm thinking I could make some removable duck boards, like in a VW Thing.

Hell rip it out, install dynomat, then spray the bead liner over it.. durable and quiet

That's not a bad idea.

A friend ripped the carpet out of his... with the top up, it's annoyingly loud inside the car on the highway. It's so loud that you can't have a normal conversation; instead, you essentially yell at one another, put up with the constant "what'd you say?", or say nothing at all.

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of.

Gonna shelve this idea until I have enough spare cash to buy Dynamat or B-Quiet to replace the lost sound deadening.

dude my car still has carpet and padding and it is still that way all the wind whistles and leaks

Gull, Did you ever try this? I was actually thinking about ripping my carpet up earlier today cause it's just not very good. I didnt even think about the noise levels.

I just looked up what duckboards were though and think it would look good in a cabby
