 Oh...and a tip for applying to vertical surfaces like inside doors:  be sure to give all mounting surfaces a thorough cleaning with a rag and rubbing alcohol, no dust or dirt or debris allowed!  This stuff is SUPER sticky, but if it falls off and onto door latch or window mechanism then you've got a mess.  Otherwise, using a sharp utility knife and cutting it into strips or sections, then applying, you are good to go, just reach in as far as your arm will go.  Take your time, it's kind of fun, and gives you a good chance to look around at stuff you normally don't look at.

I used it in the cabin area of van:  pedestals, floor, inside doors, and also inside Slider.  Quite happy.  I also used it on the front area under dashboard; unfortunately, this sheet metal area must get pretty warm from front radiator blow by, and as a result, evidence of "tar" dripping down on the sides into footwells.  I clean it up, and it later re-appears.  But, even then, I have had no "tar" odors.  It's been in place over 12 years.  And yes, very significant road noise reduction, so worth it to me.
