RAAMat in hot climates?

[cleanerupper 10+ year member]

Has anyone who lives in an extremely hot climate had any problems with RAAMat? I go to Arizona quite often during the summer where the temperature outside can reach as high as 130 degrees (yes it can get that hot). I'm sure this equates to temperatures around or above 250 degrees inside my door panel.

Thanks.

The only problem I've had with it is the metal backing peeled off a little around the corners of the trunk lid. It's on a black car in East,TN. It's still sticks pretty good after 2 summers.

I've seen that site, I just want anyone with real world experience with this stuff in hot climates to chime in. Particularly desert climates like Arizona, etc.

Thanks, how hot would you say it gets during the summer there?

Average is mid to low 90's but it will reach the 100's occasonially. Humidity is like 10000x more than AZ , your 110 feels like our 95..

Well I don't live in Arizona, I just go there a lot during the summer. So if going to put a whole bunch of RAAMat in my doors I don't want to have to worry about it melting.

I saw on that sounddeadeningshowdown.com website that the RAAMat starts failing at 250 degrees. Won't the inside of my doors be hotter than this when it is 120 degrees outside?

I'm in central Florida with RAAMmat all over my car and I've never had a problem with it. It applied easy as pie and its never shown any sign off coming off.

I live in Texas and it has been around 100-105, degrees for the past month w/ the heat index. I have a temperature gauge inside my truck and the inside of the truck reaches 130-135. I'm no expert but I doubt the inside of your doors would reach 250 degrees. My RaaMat holds up very well. I still have some exposed on the back wall and I see know signs of failure.
