After finding out the Ford NVH headliner is essentially $480 carpet, I decided to make my own headliner. For $260 I got:
* Dynamat mats (67 Mil thick - butyl rubber with aluminum backing, self-adhesive)
* 1/8 thick Dynaliner closed/open cell foam (self-adhesive)
* Some charcoal grey indoor/outdoor carpet
Here's the finished driver's side, in comparison to the bare MIC on the passenger side:
It was relatively simple process:
Step 1: Clean and prep surface, this was really easy for me as I didn't opt for the factory headliner and had bare MIC.
Step 2: Apply sound deadener wherever it wasn't obstructing the latches or the weather stripping where it's seated on the vehicle.
Step 3: Apply closed/open cell foam to the recessed parts of the top for increased sound deadening/insultation.
Step 4: Measure and cut some carpet, I used a combination of Gorilla spray glue and well-placed VHB/3M strips.
Result: I didn't have science tools to objectively measure, but the sound profile in the cabin definitely improved.
