Speaking of sound insulation...

What panels should/shouldn't be insulated with sound dampening material (like above/Dynamat/BrownBread/etc)? I would think the rear deck and under rear seat would definitely see a benefit.

But, I've read some conflicting opinion about whether or not to install it in the front doors because of moisture. Do these materials make a water-tight bond against the metal?

And would there be any benefit to using this stuff (or maybe a sound *absorber* material) on the front nose panel? I know much of the noise is wind noise, so I'm not sure if these insulations would help.

How about the front/rear floor?

Always curious,
