I'm thinking of using this stuff for the inside of my doors on the inside of the door skin to eliminate the tin'y sound when opening and closing. I'm sure it would keep out some outside noise too.

What are you thoughts for those who have used or seen this stuff first hand?

Is it heavy enough to reduce the door noise? I know my wife's Jetta had a similar product on the inside of the doors. A deer plowed into the side of her drivers side and when it was repaired they forgot to put it back in so we knew right away something wasn't right. They put the strip inside the new door and WOW...a huge difference. And it was only about 1'x2' piece. I'm thinking as big as my F150 doors are, I'd put it anywhere I can get to on the inside of the skin and on the back wall of the cab too.

Thoughts??

 

Some will tell you to cover everything. But after reading several posts on DIYMA, I may be joinging the group of guys that say you only need to cover about 25% of large flat sheet metal panels. Dont worry about areas that are bent, there shoudlnt be much resonance there at all.

With that said, I have covered both rear doors and the back wall in Raamat. I even covered the raamat on the rear wall with ensolite and plugged one of the air vents back there.

 

The 25% number sounds about right. The door on our Jetta was probably about 25% covered and it made a HUGE difference.

 

I used Dynamat in my old Bronco. It does a decent job, but I have been looking into other products for my F-150. I'm going to use a product called Dampifier Pro. It seems to be lighter and gives better adhesion at higher heat ranges. I plan to make a sheet metal covering for the large hole in the door for access to the window mechanism and cover it too.

 

I used Raamat from Raam Audio and was very impressed. For the price, its a great product.

 

Fat Mat is much better than Dynamat

 

I used dynamat extreme and its awsome well worth the money I have in on all 4 doors the floor and back of the cab. Just make sure you got some good gloves this stuff is sharp! [IMG][/IMG]

 

Dynamat hands down!! Won't be sorry.....

BTW: NICE TRUCK

Whats with the huge photo?

 

Cool! and Thanks!

 

Cool, thanks for the info. That's pretty important to know before it's too late and I find out the hard way.

 

How so?

 

Dynamat is awesome !! I did my whole truck in it and it made a huge difference. I'd recommend it over everything else out there.

 

I used something similar to Dynamat in my Civic. I coated the trunk and the back of the license plate. It made a huge difference in killing the tinny noise coming from that area of the car. I think the license plate was the worst of it, though.

If I decide to ever put in a system, like I had in my Civic, in my truck, I'd definitely go back and use that material.

 

How about you save your money and go to Lowes/Home Depot, head to the roofing section and pick up some Peel N' Seal. Same stuff as Dynamat, but WAY cheaper. Works just as well. I used this stuff in the 92' and it worked awesome. Plenty of people on the Bronco forums have used it as well with great results.
