I do.
I did this to my scirocco over the summer.\
No Westy specific help tho...
Will be hitting the Westy next summer.  I think I will
only be doing the engine compartment top and up by the
front seats.

You need to buy a heat gun.  It looks and acts like an
industrial hair dryer. ($20 or so)  You should also
buy some Spray Adhesive.  3M is the best, but is
ex$pen$ive.  cheaper stuff is available from WalMart.
Once you get the area cleared and cleaned, spray the
adhesive on the surface.  Then apply the dynamat(ish)
stuff.  Then spend the next 20 minutes with the heat
gun molding the material to the area.  It gets quicker
as you go...

It would be best to do this in the summer when the
asphalt based sound deadener will be more malleable,
but if you are determined to do it now, it'll just
take extra time.

Yes - it is worthwhile.  Just keep track of all the
screws.  I still haven't put the 'rocco back together
completely ;)

Just because you have an opinion, doesn't mean that anyone wants to hear it
