so pretty much my only option is to get it from the dealer, or try the polyurethane adhesive.

For less than $30 you will have enough to fill 8 mounts--2 cars worth. Just get the mounts out, clean them up and then tape one side with duct tape. Then fill the other in and wait 24 hours. Put them back in and enjoy it:0 Look at my website for more pics. Oh yea--that should take you 15min. to get the front mount out. Then another 15min. to prep it and pur the urethane. Then wait 24 hours, take another 15min. to slap it in and you are finished. Beer anyone? :cool: Curt B. Shumaker |

You can go to Home Depot, Lowes, etc and buy a product called 3M window weld which comes in a tube---like a tube of caulk. That stuff needs to cure for 48 hours. I have been told that it's a bit stiffer which is good if you are doing hard launches, bad if you don't like vibrations at idle. Don't get me wrong, it won't shake your fillings loose but there will be a slight shake. Keep in mind, this will only happen if you do all of the mounts. You aren't going to have that problem if you only fill the front mount. Good luck! Curt B. Shumaker |

For $30 you can do all four. There's nothing to worry about other than making sure you clean them up a bit. If you do that, you will be happy for years. Yea, they may not look as nice, but how many times do you pop your hood to show off your engine mounts :rolleyes: I wish you were closer, I'd do it for you in 30min. Curt B. Shumaker |
