I've heard the Lexus "mod" (switching your Box for a Lexus) works for most people with similar issues.

Not recommended for those of us with better halfs. May be sending the wrong message.

I do not think you would see a measurable improvement by adding all that sound-deadening material. It is a convertible, it is inherently noisy compared to the other vehicles you listed (non-convertible with engine in the front).

"Lexus Mod"... hehe thats funny
