I once saw a post / website showing DIY motor mount reinforcing with 3M window weld in a tube. Hours of searching have been fruitless. Anyone help me out?

Is window weld stuff as stiff as motor mount inserts?

I assume you'd want to do the torque mounts - rear and two lower fronts right (not top side two).

Any other comments?

I have heard of doing this before. I was told to just use the strongest thpe of sylicone I could find. But if there is s omthin that is stiffer then I am sure it would work better.

That's the site I was looking for. Thank you very much!

Aaron.

 

W.O.T., after you try this, please tell me how you like them - the dealership said that one of my mounts iscollapsed, and this looks like a quick, easy, and most important, LOW-COST fix for my problem...so hopefully it's good! Thanks...

 

Ok, I've done it. Keep in mind that my hatch is stripped and I did it while swapping so I don't have much for comparison.

I did the three torque mounts. Fulled 'em full.

It shakes slighty at idle. Like a really mild back massage. Other than that, I don't notice much vibration. Throttle response is instant, wheel hop is near none.

I'd recommend this mod.

Aaron.

 

Sweet. for u.

Did you take the mounts out or do it with the mounts in the car?
