I'm using the Lowes Brand, which I think is Peal-n-Seal. I've done my doors and trunk. Its been a few years and its holding. I live in New England. It doesn't get as hot as Texas or as cold as Alaska, but its holding and I drive this car every day including in winter.

I covered the part of the door you see when you remove the interior panel (so the panel covers it) and I also reached inside and laid some on the backside of the outer skin.
This is KrisXpc's car, but my door looks like this:
Here is his thread for reference:

I reached in that gaping hole and laid more sound deadener on the backside of the outer skin so now when you look in that hole, you see more silver.
I found this pic of johnzss's car that show's what I'm talking about on the backside of the outer door skin:
My coverage is a little more complete, like KrisXpc's door.

I'm also considering making a panel to cover than hole and, of course, cover that panel in sound deadener as well. I think I saw it done once.

Looks like you did a good job. I see were some guys use cardboard to cover the hole, then lay the sound deading on top of that.

I just used the material to cover all of the openings. Wish I would have taken pictures of the doors before reinstalling the panels. I managed to keep the door handle rods moving freely allowing both handles to operate properly all the while sealing the door up tight. The door is acting like a vented enclosure now. Surprising how much tight punchy mid-bass I can get out of the temporary (shopping for components) mid-level Pioneers.

I used the peal and seal on the underside of the DD trunk lid and it came back off. I redid it and heated it with a heat gun and its holding this go round. It can defy gravity when heated.

i found some at menards today and did most of the trunk made the mistake of only buying 2 rolls. used a laminate roller to press it all down and so far its working out i drove around and the drone isnt as terrible as it was before hand but that could just be in my head
