Firewall Pad

Any experience installing?
Is it carboard with jute?
How do clips hold in place?
One I received looks chessy

Re: Firewall Pad

They are kinda cheesy. Cardboard with jute backing. They install with plastic push in fasteners that should have come with it. I can't remember how many there are tho.

Re: Firewall Pad

The clips are really ribbed plugs with a large mushroom head. They have a neat little installation tool you can buy for it, biggest thing I can tell you is when you get yours, work the factory creases a bit till it bends easier. Also grease the rib a bit (Helps push them through.

Re: Firewall Pad

So there should be holes in the firewall that these push clips hold onto correct

Re: Firewall Pad

Yes, the pad will come with the holes prepunched and they should line up with the holes in your firewall. Unless the PO closed them.
