Why don't manufacturers, esp Mercedes and Chrysler, which did the study, implement this for their cars?
Have you ever Autofoamed an older Porsche 911?
Thanks

Hi Andrew,
For mass production cars, assembly time is paramount.
For them, they apply the "pop-corn" foaming technique where they insert the softer NVH foam for specific areas ie A, B, C pillars, B pillar junction etc.
Look up Ford GT, they apply the same high density formula as AutoFoam Race.
Aston Martin treats the entire door sills with the same material as AutoFoam Original.
BMWs do apply a bit of foam on their coupes.
To do old Porsche 911, we need to remove the wheels as we apply from the sides. Can be done but requires more time and costs.
Anyone have any views or experiences? I guess I'm concerned that the process is not reversible.
