The thermal insulation of the car interiors of the Volga Automobile Plant, especially the release of the Soviet period, leaves much to be desired. At that distant time, the car pleased the owner with the fact that he had it. And the fact that the heater works at full power, and heats only the legs of the driver and the passenger sitting in the front seat - this fact was not paid much attention then.
Necessary
- - glue,
- - heat insulating material.
Instructions
Step 1
The main reasons for hypothermia in car interiors is heat leakage through the cracks in the doors and in the trunk lid. With cars of the "ninth" and "tenth" model series, the elimination of such shortcomings is reduced to a minimum: it is enough to replace the sealing rubber of the luggage hatch before the coming cold weather, and even lubricate all door seals with silicone grease, simultaneously inspecting them, and adjusting the door locks if necessary.
Step 2
With regard to machines of the "classic" series, such events will be clearly insufficient. It will take a lot of time and labor to really insulate the Zhiguli salon.
Step 3
Before starting work, you need to visit a hardware store and purchase a suitable thermal insulation material there, which is much cheaper in cost in comparison with the identical thermal insulation sold in car dealerships. The main thing is high quality glue.
Step 4
Insulation of the car interior begins with removing the front and rear seats, the ceiling and floor covering, and the front panel of the passenger compartment from it.
Step 5
Then patterns are cut from the insulation to the ceiling. The places of the future sticker of the heat-insulating material are abundantly lubricated with glue, its thermal conductivity depends on the quality of gluing the insulation, as well as the formation of condensation on the inner surface of the roof (this is highly undesirable).
Step 6
In the next step, the insulation is glued to the panel behind the back of the rear seat, as well as in the niche of the specified sofa.
Step 7
The cut-out patterns are then glued to the front shield that separates the passenger compartment from the engine compartment.
Step 8
Lastly, the patterns made of insulating material are glued to the floor of the underbody. After pasting the body with insulation, it is necessary to wait for the time it takes for the glue to dry, and only then proceed with the assembly of the interior: stretch the ceiling, lay the rubber mats on the floor, install the front panel and seats.
Step 9
As a result, at the end of the car's insulation work, the car gets a rather comfortable interior, because in addition to improved heat retention, it also acquires good sound insulation from external noise.
