Just curious… figured it’s a cavity like the fuel tank area that would echo and resonate noise.

FYI, doing this on a 2023 AR250 is a BIG pain in the @$$! They glued the crap out of the entire deadening product. Attached is what I am working with. The adhesive is a bear to get off. I am using Goo-Gone and also tried acetone and still, nothing is giving way. I am using a paint scraper to work it off. tempImagexAPJy5.jpgAny recommendations on some other way to tackle getting all this stuff off?

My '22 255xd didn't even come with black foam. . While looking I found that the hatch wasn't even sealing when closed. In the picture the gap between the red and yellow line was 5/8" . The 1/8" foam tape was a joke.20240412_164958.jpgtempImagexAPJy5.jpg
