How and in what type of weather did you install your sound deading material?
I live in S. California and were in rain season and from day to day the clouds appear or the sun appears or it'll rain for half a day. Would it be alright to install this stuff on a cloudy day? Thanks.

just use a heat gun (or a blow dryer) to heat up the surface and the material and you will be fine.

Update: I finished the trunk and it still has a small amount of rattle when the car is off. When I turn on the car I can barely hear the rattle so im happy with the result.
I did have a rattle caused by the gas lines on the underside of the driver side. I put a rubber piece in between the gas lines and the frame and this stoped the rattles.
Heres a picture of how it came shipped. It doesn't have a roofing oder, but when I did open the box because it captured all the smells it did have musk? oder and I doubt its roofing material.

Anyone ever try "Polymeric Mastic"? You can get it online at mcmaster-carr part number is 9709T19.
Do a goofle search for it too. Many people have used it. Good quality and about 1/6th the cost of Dynamat

Has anyone considered filling the a-pillars, b-pillars etc with some type of expanding foam or sound deadener? It would make sense to fill any hollow areas with some type of sound deadening.
I don't want to be the first guy that squirts 'great stuff' into their car and finds out that it has some bad consequences.
**** it works for the F-150s...lol
