Hello again. For the rear hatch,I got an underhood sound and heat liner
from an old Buick.It was low mileage and very clean($5). I folded it in
half and wedged it in place. It fit perfect and only needed 1 or 2 cuts to
fit the lock/wiper area. The rear hatch now slams with authority. Little
additional weight from this pad.I hear that regular sound proofing may
cause the hatch to sag.The hatch sounds as good as my front and sliding
door ,which have lots of expensive sound material inside.It also seems to
have a "feeling" of being "stuffed" with something , as opposed to being
hollow.A good feeling,it is.I would do it again.
