I used (quite a lot of) Gorilla tape to strengthen the cracks in the heavy engine bay sound proof liner, but especially I used it to repair the broken "hinge" pieces where the difficult clasp fixings are set. By binding tightly around the exposed inner filling material of the mat in these places it has definitely improved things.
Hanging my head in shame.
OMG!!
What a useless, foolish so and so I have been over this......
So, I contacted Paul at Technozen and received a reply that had this added on at the very end of his message....
"....Was the small metal contact beside the battery moved across to the new case?"
Mmmmm.
Lesson for the future I suppose is when another stupid person asks a similar question the responses, as well as: is the battery OK? is it the right way round? is the case secured correctly? should include "did you do the fundamentally obvious thing and move across the small metal contact to the new case? !!!
Replaced circular three button fob case (as existing badly worn) and battery this morning on 2005 TF. No go.
Thankfully other fob still works.
Tried unlocking with key and pressing (one? or both? in turn? padlock buttons 4 to 8 times. No success.
Any ideas? (Cannot get Leigh Ping's video to activate).
Tks
Thanks SpottyCat,
I'd sent my message BEFORE I'd raised the glass, so I'm confident that all will now become clear!!
(Yeah, I've put some of the deadening material on the inside of the door card and am also a fan of Dynax S50)
Cheers.
I'm wishing to put in some sound deadening pieces against the metal, (where accessible), on the inside of the TF doors and maybe some Waxoyl or similar along (inner) bottom of doors, (remembering to keep drain holes free).
I've successfully got door card off and even, (taking care), the plastic protective sheet (I've got clear PVC 0.5mm sheeting to replace).
My question is as I'm anxious not to put out of adjustment the fit and alignment of the currently perfectly ok glass and I don't know how to;
Can I or how do I safely move the glass out of the way so that I can put pieces of sound deadening mat in place.
