Re: window weld vs pre made inserts
I used PL Roofing Sealant, some folded strips of a bicycle tire tube, and a small twig to stuff the sealant into and around the tube pieces. It wasn't overly messy, it cured fine in a day or so next to a small heater, and as far as I know they are working great over a year later.

Re: window weld vs pre made inserts
i've decided to do this just today, here's what i've got so far. did it to my lower torque mounts on my EG hatch, i did them 1 at a time, cuz i felt like it
Supplies:
3m Window Weld $9.99
Caulking Gun $4.99
Gloves
Wire Cutters
Old Pizza Box
Old Pizza
Soaked em in hot water and a dab of dishwasher soap. Then rinsed with more hot water a few times, followed by a towel dry and a blow-dry.
Taped up the side that doesn't stick out as much, so i could easily "fill" the mount
Had some trouble with the gun at first.. ended up cutting off nearly all of the tip and popped a hole on the metal push part.. here's one of em filled
oh, and people are joking when they say this ---- is messy.. here's the table after i finished the first one. Used 2 pairs of gloves, the wire cutters, a cheap pen, several paper towels and a peice of carboard.
I found it's best to fill up one part at a time, as by the time you come back to that part the level has gone down and will accept more window weld. Can't wait to stick these in tomarrow.. i've been having some traction and wheel hopping issues up the ***

That will explain which mounts you want to fill and with what. You can use different grade polyurethanes to get different characteristics (the higher the number the stiffer it is, he used 80a in his). I would just go with Prothanes (all 4 mounts not just 2 like ES) unless your a sissy.

Re: window weld vs pre made inserts
Man I'm suprised you guys have never heard of Mcmaster-carr.com
That place is the ---- you can get EVERYTHING there. Anyways get the polyeurethane from there it's good ----.

There's a writeup on how to do it with VW mounts, I'm sure it's applicable to you guys' ---- too.
$16 for poly mounts for you guys?
Our mounts are considerably more expensive than that (or are we talking a piece here)
Also, theres not really too much information after the first page that's too pertinent....Something that's not mentioned on the first page that's good to know, when I was into Dodges, we did the same thing with the casting eurethane, but added chopped up fiberglass into the mix to give it extra strength, works great....

Re: window weld vs pre made inserts
I used some PL-xxx from home depot. Couldn't find the window weld.
Bonus** It smells kinda like chocolate.
I let em dry about a week. I just left em on top of steve's furnace after we did em.
Having mounts to replace it are wonderfull.
