What do you recommend I dynomat? Iam currently removing the interior body panels of my car (pretty much all of the rear is now out), and was just wondering what to dynomat.. Im planning on dynomatting the rear hatch (sick of those damm rattles).. What else?

Thanks..

Most of my rattles come from the inner panels of the car... you have rattles from the body?

Didn't dynomat much of the hatch here. I'd removed the package shelf the first day I owned the car, and what was left to rattle back there was just the black trim on the sides of the hatch under the glass. I wouldn't waste dynamat there, I just used some foam from a package in a few spots.

My installer definitely put some around the door speakers, and inside some of those rear panels, but then just a few pieces where the sub box rests (on the floor boards where the rear seat bottom used to be). He said that it wasn't necessary to cover the floor with mat, that pieces in selected areas would be enough to improve things. More floor coverage might have resulted in less road noise though, I think. (Still not bad now). Looking at balancing weight, cost, and performance, I'm pretty happy with what they did. Also, keep in mind that I'm using dynamat "extreme", which does not have a tar odor like a lot of the original dynamat-type things. (Important for the interior, IMHO) Can get that stuff at Best Buy. Lots of other stuff out there that also looks good, but when it came down to it, I needed something that didn't stink that would work well, that I could get quickly.

HTH,

Since I took it out a few weeks ago, I can't believe how much quieter it is..

the panel or the shelf?

I recently removed the panel that wraps around the glass.. Its definitely the source of a few of my rattles

Mine's disconnected in the upper passenger side corner. I've tried to pull on it but it won't budge... and I don't want to pull too hard on it.

Did you use a panel removal tool or what?

Thanks... this has been bugging the hell out of me too.
