Butters "Winter Upgrades". . Starting a Little Early

It absolutely makes a difference. I used hushmat from Summit on the Dart. I had to redo the headliner, so I did the roof, I was amazed afterwards. You could knock on the roof and it was a solid this like a knocking on a solid wood door.
Did you do your whole roof or just strips? I've read various ways to do it like putting on a strip at a time and knocking on the panel until you're satisfied with the sound. I haven't had my headliner out for the better part of 10 years, so I can't recall exactly what it looked like for reinforcement under there you might have to work around. I'm pretty sure I at least coated it in POR-15 though, so hopefully it's still steel and not rust...
