Vehicle cockpit assemblies and methods of installing same within vehicles
are provided. A vehicle cockpit assembly includes a dash insulator that is
configured to be attached to a vehicle firewall, an instrument panel
attached to the dash insulator, and a floor covering also attached to the
dash insulator. A plurality of apertures are formed through the dash
insulator, each of which is configured to overlie a respective opening in
a vehicle firewall when attached thereto. Each aperture is configured to
sealably receive an item extending therethrough such that substantially no
gaps exist between the item and the substrate. Polyurethane may be added
to one or more selected portions of the dash insulator to reflect and/or
absorb sound.
