    No load cover. I removed it when the windows were tinted. I think it's less that the sound comes in and more that the road noise resonates through the floor of the car and is amplified by the large boot of the V70.
    How do you mean the sound level went through the roof? In a good way?

    I'd be interested to know how you get on. Some 'how to' pics would be really good. I have been wondering how much of the noise actually comes from the large boot floor itself. Thoughts? When I had 944s - if the boot floor carpet was left out, the increase in noise was huge.

    Pulling the load cover over does nothing for noise reduction however.
