ok, just to make sure, when i apply deadener to a broad surface, only place it on flat big pieces right and not ridges and raised sections?

Correct. Centers of flat (or slightly curved but not convoluted) panels.

ok, on this, since its almost all flat,

1. would i put it covering the whole inside back (in the hole) and along the vertical support pieces? 2. and then on the outside area surrounding the holes?

3. also, would i put it on the plastic piece?

4. would filling the holes with foam or something help? (after i apply deadener)

How you treat specific areas is going to depend on what you are trying to accomplish. I can't figure out what I am looking at in those pictures.

expedition too huh.....get as much as you can to the outside sheetmetal through the inner panel holes(third pic down), and just the big areas on the inner panel(fifth pic down)

and do the whole roof, it's easy to get the headliner off, but time consuming... two layers for the roof first layer everything, second layer just the flat parts, not the support beams.and u'll be fine.

i figured to be aBOUT 50^ feet total

for now, im only doing the back door and my doors to kill rattle. later on when i save up more ill move to headliner ect. do you mean ^ for the back door? or how much do you estimate for that?

[taintedplay 10+ year member]

[taintedplay 10+ year member]

comon guys, someone has to know

 

[taintedplay 10+ year member]

so where should i apply it, and should i fill it with great foam after?

To stop rattles you have to find what''s rattling and treat the source. There is no 1, 2, 3 and all your problems are gone.

I know where the rattles are. im trying to solve the source. on that door panel, im trying to see where to apply it. and if i should add great stuff foam after
