I haven't read all 25 pages, but has Fatmat been mentioned? I used about 2000 sq ft in my durango and found it to be pretty solid stuff.

Any body ever use anything like this? It's 6" wide roll.. about 1/16" thick, pressure sensitive adhesive back... I have some surplus at my work and am thinking of using it for my doors...

seems like that could serve multiple purposes. I have some butyl tape, but it's a little thicker. I haven't used it yet though

Hello!
I finished my rear doors, needed to add more sound deadening and fixed my rear rattles, I put as much as I could on the external outer metal, maybe left about 2-3 inches untreated on each side of the external metal.

The problem I have is one of the rear doors (left)does not close as easy as the right door. My right door, I barely push and it closes by itself, my left door does not close unless I make 2 or even more times the effort to close it. I have more than enough on both doors and I do not want to waste material since all I want to do is make it close easier and tighter.

My question,


Where do I add more SDM to add weight to make it close with less effort, inner layer center, Lower,higher ?
outer layer, inner layer? closer to the hinges, center, high, low? closer to the end, high, low, middle?


Thanks in advance for your help!

Sound Deadening Material, is that really that hard (SDM)? I posted a thread in the G D section and got no answer yet, I figured since this is a sticky and and a SDM how thread I would post my issue and get some help. Any ideas?

Adjust and grease your door hinge and/or latching mechanism.... "SDM" is to deaden sound, not to help doors close better

I'm going to install new Rainbow speakers in my Buick Verano (same size as Chevy Cruze) which has triple sealed doors. Do I really need sound deadning in the doors or not? I read that sound deadning does not improve midbass, is that true? If I do need sound deadning, I am thinking of going with Damplifier Pro, how many sq feet per door will I need?
