Also put Evercoat QPads into the larger sections that can resonate. That is even more extreme / heavy stuff than Dynamat. It makes my speakers sound better (I believe). And removes resonances, yes, agreed. Also the door is much heavier now :-( and closes with a nice "thump" :-) But: The noise level in the van did not drop. Measured many times before and after. This was the whole point of the conversation. It's like fixing a small hole in a pail, if the bottom has already dropped out. Gotta go for the biggest source of noise first. Insulating the sheet metal in the door doesn't help, if the noise can happily go around the insulation through the air vents. Have fun, Reinhard, 83 Westy, "Moose"
