uxcell 197mil 5mm 53.35sqft Car Heat Sound Deadening Deadener Insulation Cotton Mat 197x39inch for Car

I needed to replace the speakers in my old Ford work van. My thought was while I had the doors apart I needed to put some sound deadener in the doors to help the sound of my new speakers. I have no experience with doing this but I decided on this brand of insulation based on the thickness and this looked to be the amount I needed to do my doors and the low price point. I was not willing to go overboard for a old work van. I purchased a roller to install this stuff and it helped but I don't think required for the small amount of product. The install went very easy, this stuff sticks! its not coming off and that a good thing. I can't say exactly how much it help my speakers as my speakers were budget but I'm amazed how much it help with the road noise. I would compare to as if I added new tires or something, Its an improvement. If my budget allowed I would do my entire van. after using this product I am considering treating my cars as I hate road noise and this I think would make a huge improvement in a car as a noisy old work van was about the best test I could do. I would buy again!

Noticeable difference in road noise on my truck. Good product for price. Very sticky. I cleaned w rubbing alcohol before install. Gonna suck big time if I need to remove it.

I expected for this to come in a roll as in pictures. But it came in folded up like a blanket. Just makes it a little harder to use now but will manage.

This review is for a first timer using this foam material but not a newbie in putting a sound deadener with the usual aluminum layer. 1) Don’t make the mistake of peeling the paper all at once from the adhesive when working on a big area. Once that adhesive stick to any surface it will more likely peel the foam being so thin. 2) Worse, if the adhesive stick to itself, forget it, if you’re a perfectionist you’ll more likely to start back so many times if you make that mistake coz once you try to peel it off from itself it will rip that foam easy! 3) It also doesn’t make a reasonable stretch to adhere to a curved surface specially a corner. 4) if you force or use a roller or even just your hands/fingers to flatten it to the surface you’d end up ripping again the foam or leave an air bubble underneath! 5) Since I layered this to my spare tire/trunk cabin floor when you strike at the metal it does not produce that solid dull sound, so I really don’t expect a good deadening effect from it. 6) Since I ordered the 50+ square foot mat, I will more likely not use the rest of it to my doors or even my car cabin’s floor. The more I will use it from this point it will more likely just give me more disappointments! It’s such a waste of my money. Just settle for the ones with the aluminum layer and pay the extra premium for quality. I will ask if I can return the rest and get a partial refund for the material used coz more likely if I now start to peel it off, I would expect residues of adhesive and foam will stay and make removing it a challenge in itself! This is why I gave it a 5 Star for ADHESION, coz that will be the undoing of this product.

Had to take off the sound proofing / water barrier plastic to inspect the panel. This is a nice thickness and the adhesive is really good. A good sharp razor makes easy work of the cutting. Not difficult to work with. I will need to get more when I do the other doors.

Good product, the paper backing is a good thickness for tracing templates before cutting, and the glue backing is some of the stickiest I've worked with. Customer service is good, overall very pleased.

very useful item worked well

This is the last time I buy from Amazon. Crappy staff! the thing came into a box folded into a small piece, rather than a roll---so it was full of deep wrinkles that never went away, even thought I left it sitting on the floor open for days. Trying to peel it off was impossible, and the adhesive material was so poor that it would tear off and stick to my palm, as I peeled it off (super carefully). The mat itself was very thin and flimsy like you wouldn't imagine---you touch, you tear.
