Hi mate. I’ve not heard of anyone doing that to be honest. What’s your reasoning behind it if you don’t mind my asking?

I see, I had a feeling it may be noise related. I was going to suggest sound deadening, but you’ve already done that.
Have the wheel arches been done? They’re critical. I’ve also sound deadened mine with silent coat but it only makes little difference to be honest. To improve it, you need dodo superliner or similar, and carpet.
Guys I’ve spoken to on here reckon that’s the way forward, it’s what I’m going to do when funds allow

It's a 66 plt so seals are fine yes carpet would work a treat probably , but it's a dog van I have enough on just keeping the dust and dog hair under control it's a couple of hours vacuuming washing every weekend without have to vacuum all the carpet in the back

I can imagine mate. I had an A6 avant that had previously transported dogs. I was still finding hairs in the boot 2 years later!

Sound deadening only does so much. Foam insulation will help massively
