Sound Insulation in a R3
I’m not sure if I’ve asked this before (
), but I found this behind the rear liners in my 200iS

That is factory fitted. You will find it in many R3s.

Re: Sound Insulation in a R3
Oh Poo. I thought it was something bodged by a previous owner and sent it to the local Energy from Waste plant.
I will have think about what to replace it with! I do have a load of those air filled plastic pouches used for packing delicate items, but they will probably deflate eventually and trap moisture?
Something else to consider!

Re: Sound Insulation in a R3
Plenty of R3s out there are still being scrapped: I am sure you will be able to find secondhand original insulation bags

Re: Sound Insulation in a R3
They must be in demand. I’ve contacted three people and they’ve all been sold. It’ll probably be easier just to do my own!

Re: Sound Insulation in a R3
There are better sound insulation options than what came out of the factory.
