I've heard people using the roofing material at home depot as sound dampening in a car. I've also heard that they are not meant to be used on verticle surfaces. Any input?

I was looking at partsexpress.com and this seems feasible to my use. I just want to stop my doors from vibrating

What ever you do don’t use the roofing material. It dose help to prevent rattles but it dose not stick and will end up falling off. Trust me the clean up on it is a mess when you have to pull it off and do it the correct way. I would suggest that you get a product called BROWN BREAD http://www.b-quiet.com/brownbread.html

How long did it stick for you? I've been talking to a few members on preludeonline.com who have had it on their car coors for less than a month w/o problems.

It depends mostly upon the weather, I had it where it stuck for 6 months and I have had it where it fell off in 3 days. If its cold out it will fall off and if it’s hot it will melt off. But I can guarantee you that within 6 months your windows will be making a scraping sound from the aluminum backing when it falls off and rubs against the window. Just do it right the first time learn from my experiences. I can guarantee you that you will spend more money and a whole lot more time in the long run if you go for the roofing / AC product. Plus there is a big difference in the amount of road noise the Brown Bread will block out next to the roofing product.

What`s the diff between Brown Bread and Dynamat? Never heard of Brown Bread until this posting. Is it cheaper,better, or about the same as Dynamat?

it is a bit cheaper and works better in my experience...

it seems to have better adhesion than the Dynamat, especially on the roof...I have tried both in my black car and on the hot days after awhile the Dynamat fell, cuz its one big panel and it heats up quite hot...the Brown Bread has been there for over 2 years and isnt even close to hinting about falling off...

Personally I think that Brown Bread is a better product then Dynamat. First off it’s affordable 2nd it’s easier to apply and 3rd I feel that it has the same dampening effect as the high end dynamat products.
