I was going to say DIY honda guys have been doing that for years alot cheaper than $37

There is another type that dosen't get as hard as the window weld which takes away some of the vibration....

I have full poly mounts in my CRX and it vibrated bad for a few weeks but once the mounts wore in a little it is a lot better


Where did you use the sand box

Hmmm... I couldn't find any brand names but it seems that Liquid Urethan can be purchased in different hardnesses

I'll see if i can find the inf I was reading before...

Put the mounts on the sand box so the liquid evens out...
