I think the front would be more important FWIW.

In my experience. If you don't enter the car, and just open the boot, and leave it too long. It auto-closes after a while.

Yeah just saw this, indeed Torx. Most things are T25 and T30 on the Skoda.

I point to the KESSY connector here ... it has Red and White cables. I know because when I was working on the Passenger side I forgot to connect that...and KESSY wouldn't work Sigh. Beck in again...

No This one is a great indication of the work required to dismantle the interior. Parts are 90% the same as the Superb

I can't remember. More was on the rear quarter panel.

Just saw this... an Octavia, but almost the same as a Superb.

I wouldn't call it excellent more of a warning about what you are getting yourself into I didn't show the technique of popping the door card clips or lifting the panel up/off after removing the bazillion connectors. For me the main key, it shows you where to start and what lies beneath

Only worth it if you want to see what's under the wheel arch liner The rear liner is a lot easier to remove than the front so its a good place to start on wheel wells. However, to do it properly you need to remove a lot of wax which is tedious. The liner is also felt so you can't really stick anything to that either. Coming at it from the inside of the vehicle would make more sense. but that involves dismantling the boot interior...also tedious. So I would skip it.

Mighty effort thanks for sharing. I have to get my car on a lift as I have wondered if applying butyl from the underside would be an option. Not sure what's under the plastic shielding. Would save a lot of work

Yeah but I am not sure if it matters that much as it is behind carpet. The same with under the rear seat squabs, its radiating up into 10-15 cm of high density foam. Yeah that was my experience too. Once you do the boot and B-pillar it really takes the noise (on coarse chip roads) down from headache inducing and annoying to noticable but reasonable. My main observation before I started was all the noise was behind my head. The B-pillar is a silly design...funneling sound from the sills right up to your head level.

With the amount of foam in there. No Wouldn't make any difference. I assume you ram-rodded sone down into the trumpets at the bottom of the pillar?

When I lifted my rear seat there was already some sort of cotton blanket. You can see it in this video @ 0:21

Given you would only need one slab sure. It looks to be even higher density full of glue and a mix of chopped up foams
