I’ve installed Peel & Seal on My 90Westy in all 4 Doors & on several Friends Vans where I usually

put in Rear Quarters as well as All Doors,, It lessens the ability of an area of Tin to resonate sound & it

does that amazingly well ~ Not even necessary to cover entire area, just whatever You can conveniently

get to ~

I also used it on the front area under dashboard; unfortunately, this sheet metal area must get pretty warm from front radiator blow by, and as a result, evidence of "tar" dripping down on the sides into footwells.  I clean it up, and it later re-appears.  But, even then, I have had no "tar" odors.  It's been in place over 12 years.  And yes, very significant road noise reduction, so worth it to me.
