Read somewhere it helps to soundproof behind dashboard, when out.
Cannot find link but my dash will be coming out soon, what should I be looking to do?
Assuming the garage will let me whizz in and spend some time insulating/sound deadening before they put it back together.
Thanks Nick

Re: dashboard soundproofing.
Most sound deadening is done to the floor due to resonance and road noise in that area, not sure how effective it would be behind dash and suspect there is little space, worth remembering these vehicles leak from the windscreen if not correctly repaired and maintained so that and any condensation could seep into the area and settle.

Re: dashboard soundproofing.
The inside of the panel below the window screen is one of the biggest points of noise when its raining and you are asleep !
therefore it must be a noise and heat loss point to my reckoning
i intend to stick some 25mm closed cell on mine when i get the chance,

Re: dashboard soundproofing.
I put some sound deadening on the front under the windscreen, just the dodomat type stuff nothing foam or insulation.
The footwells got both sound deadening and the closed cell foam, much quieter on the roads. Also put some offcuts I had under the dash as that's quite tinny.
