Speaking of sound insulation...

What panels should/shouldn't be insulated with sound dampening material
(like above/Dynamat/BrownBread/etc)?  I would think the rear deck and under
rear seat would definitely see a benefit.

But, I've read some conflicting opinion about whether or not to install it
in the front doors because of moisture.  Do these materials make a
water-tight bond against the metal?

And would there be any benefit to using this stuff (or maybe a sound
*absorber* material) on the front nose panel?  I know much of the noise is
wind noise, so I'm not sure if these insulations would help.

How about the front/rear floor?

Always curious,
