Hello

I'm in need of sound proofing my boot lid i have been thinking of using dynomat but i have been told it wont work that well but to use expanding foam but im not to sure as i have heard bad things about it,

Put to much in it will bend the panels
Lock mechanism not working due to foam covering it

Could anybody give me some other ideas or the best way of stopping this from happening

Thanks
Mark

I used dynamat in my old 206 but i went stupid an covered the whole car in it an spend over £500 on the stuff but that was entered into most sound offs an sq comps so it needed it, but im not doing that much in the scooby, an dont want to spend to much again

Dont use expanding foam!, my background is from SPL cars, if any of you have been to and DB Drag or IASCA shows, im the Person behind Team DAVE, notably the Last car which was owned by my friend Richard. we held the UK record doing over 172db.
Expanding foam deteriorates quite quickly when vibrated and will leave you with lots of lumps to rattle around. A cheap and effective alternative is weather seal called aquaseal or flashband, essential the same as dynamat just not as efficient and heavier.
