Heh. That's a good question, perhaps one he wished he had asked
himself before sticking it on.

(shrug). Can't say for certain what he used on his door, but if it was
Peel & Seal branded stuff, it's 45mil, just like that B-Quiet Extreme
stuff. According to the forums frequented by annoying stereo thumping
kids who drive Civics with wings on the trunk, it's exactly the same
material.

One of the aforementioned boomin' bass dudes claimed "I had 3 layers
worth fall off of my trunk lid this summer", but every other report on
the stickiness is along the lines of "sticks so well, I can't get it
off". Dunno if those guys' opinions are worth anything, but I reckon
it'll stick fast if you roll the bejeebus out of it to follow the
contours.
