I need something to quiet the road noise

I pulled out my interior because its a beautiful weekend here finally. I went to home depot looking for something simular to dyna mat and didnt find anything. I just want something less expensive that will quiet down the interior noise. Thanks

Re: I need something to quiet the road noise

^ Try the classifieds section. I see them in there about every month.

I've heard Peel N Seal will melt on hot days. Something to consider....

Re: I need something to quiet the road noise

I did my entire floor pan with the peel-n-seal, and it's working well. It took me about 4 rolls, and I still need to do the hatch area. I also taped all of the seams with buytl tape, to make it as waterproof as possible. I got it at lowes, it's over in the roofing section, where the shingles and stuff are.

Re: I need something to quiet the road noise

What kind of difference did you notice, and how much were the rolls of peel and seal?

Re: I need something to quiet the road noise

I'm also curious how much difference it made.

--Does it smell at all? I'm afraid of it smelling like tar or something when it gets heated up

Re: I need something to quiet the road noise

The rolls were in the roofing section as stated and were almost 14.00 dollars a piece. So i did the front for 30 bucks. Im not sure yet on the difference I have the carpet back in but ive pulled my dash so maybe tomorrow ill check out the noise.

Re: I need something to quiet the road noise

I haven't noticed any smell, even after the car has been sitting in 100 degree texas heat. I don't really have a fair comparison for sound levels though, because I went from driving around with bare floor pans, to peel-n-seal and carpet -- I did the peel-n-seal right before I installed the new carpet. However, it's nice and quiet now, although there is still some road noise from the hatch area, I need to put peel-n-seal down back there as well.

I did mine pretty much exactly the same way as the pictures above, but I also did underneath and behind the rear seats, and covered as much of the trans tunnel as possible. I also taped all seams and edges with butyl tape, in an effort to keep water from getting underneath.

One thing I remember reading is that you can really only get away with using the peel-n-seal on floors, as it doesn't stick so well to roofs and doors.
