I tried, and succeeded somewhat, with putting Hushmat or Roadkill under some of the interior carpet. I laid some in the trunk and behind the door panels. It's pretty much impractical to get everything totally covered, so I covered a sensible amount of floor and trunk just reduce some heat and maybe noise.
The door panels are regrettably a pain in the can. At 59 years old the clips and vinyl are so fragile that I wish I hadn't removed these in the first place. Brittle vinyl on the corners breaks into shards with little force. Clips can't find a solid board slot in every position. All that just to reduce the rattling between the panels and the door frame-because what I installed isn't going to make these a sound barrier.
I hate to say what should be fun to work on becomes a nightmare. I sure hope this Dynamat alternative has the qualities it purports to have.
