Thought about silencing my car (gen 2 camry) and I was reading around and noticed everyone places the material on the door (metal). I didn't want to foul up my power windows and moving mechanisms, I am wondering if it is possible / effective to put them on the backside of my interior panels instead?
That might work.... but it wouldn't be as effective, and you may run into fitment issues once you try and put the panels back on. The rolls of sound deadening material is supposed to go in place of the vapor barrier, so technically it's out of the way of everything already.

oh! i thought they go under the vapor barrier. I just did one door with carpet pad, just cut out a piece of carpet pad, glue a couple disc magnets on there, instant mount and removable. now my drivers side is nice and quiet, but everyone else is still suffering =)
cw3nola here in Kuwait with the Army. I have Dynamat in my 03 Toy Tacoma 4X4. Power windows and I put the Dynamat against the body and inner part of door; but not on door panel. Didn't affect the power window. In fact I covered the Tacoma completely, floor, back wall and roof top with Dynamat and other Dynamat stuff. Expensive, yes; but it was worth it.

I tried to seal/close that big hole in the doors by covering it with strips of 'Peel & Seal' (similar to Dynamat sold at Home Depot). The problem is, they material caved in towards the power window mechanism, so I decided to remove it.
Is there a way to keep the deadening material from caving in after I apply it? I was thinking of using pegboard to cover the majority of the hole, then covering that with the deadening material.
Hi Berg. I didn't close the hole with Dynamat. I put the Dynamat thru the hole on inside/outside part of the door. It wasn't easy since the hole is not that big and it work that way. Try it that way Just take your time and make sure it sticks well. The doors took the longest to do. If you have a Tacoma, the back wall was the worst part from noise. The bottom wall part was not tacked very well so transmission and rear end noise was loud.

Yo CW3, I understand what you did, deadening the outer door panel from the inside, via the hole. I'm looking to cover the hole to make the door behave better as a sealed box. Any ideas?
I didn't use the clear sheet that was on the hole of the door Berg. I just left it open and it works fine. Maybe you can use a zip lock bag and cut it out to fit the hole and glue it on. Hope this is what your looking for Berg.
