Did you go over the factory installed sound deadening material on the floor? And was there any problem reinstalling the tray after you installed the new material? I have actually been thinking about doing this, thanks for posting this.
Kilmat installed on hatch door and hatch floor!
Both the hatch door and floor took 14 sheets of the kilmat. I took it on a test drive on the highway at 80 mph. Diffently makes a difference! Entire project took 2.5 hrs.
As you can see in the before pics honda had some deadening material already installed on the floor but none on the hatch door.
I was thinking about the placebo effect so I took the wife's passport on a test drive with zero deadener added and big difference in the two.
Anyway, that's how I spent my Christmas morning😄
Merry Christmas to all!

Small sample update....if you zoom in on pic you will see an Amazon device that I play music on while working in garage. I downloaded a sound decimal app on my phone and tested the outside noise on both my and my wife's untreated Passports.
I tested seating it both the front seats and back seats.
Her exl with the better windshield Glass was on average 5 decibels higher on several different songs playing on the outside Amazon device.
The sound deadening project was a success! I am researching the outside wheel wells now.

Yes sir, 4 sheets left over but with the wife asking for her passport to be entered in the project process i will be ordering a new 34 sheet box 🙄Nicely done!Great inspiration, really looking forward to working on mine next week (and I have a new bottle of Aleve on the shelf)!
And with all that done you still had 4 sheets left over from the box.
I did add my last 4 sheets to the two front wheel wells. Being there was nothing from factory in this area I thought I would tell a good bit of difference with tire noise but really didn't hear much change. Didn't take long and was pretty easy so no biggie. That's it for my ride. I will start on wife's soon.
I will not be doing the floor on either.
All in all I would say the doors was the biggest change from the stereo sound. The other areas did help but nothing ground breaking.
