I never took any pictures of the dynamat installed and I've since sold the roadster, so no pictures will probably ever be taken. Just take your time and it will go on, although I did make custom door panels for that car, I don't see why it wouldn't work with the stock ones.

Do you install the Dynamat over the entire area behind the door panel or do you focus on covering the access openings to the interior of the door cavity?
Thx!

Wow! Some of you do really go thru a lot of trouble with these. I guess I may be lucky. With Rodney tool I have been able to replace them in two cars without touching any door glass part at all. Just remove trim, insert tool, be carefull and take screws out. Still nice write up if the going gets though

I laid it over the whole panel, then used a heat gun and a small roller and rolled it into every nook and cranny, which stretched it thinner than it is from the box. But I didn't have a door handle, window crank, etc., etc., to worry about either.

To each his own, Alex.  I have a tool just like Rodney's that I made. It works, but it's a PITA IMHO. I can do it faster with a lot less cursing and swearing this way. You must have the fingers of a girl.

Are you saying you applied the Dynamat to the back of the inner door panel on on the metal door frame behind the innder door panel?

On the metal door frame, stretching it as much as it would allow with a heat gun, using a razor blade to cut out the openings needed.

Bump for this thread. Very useful info.
I used this method today installing my new Dew-wipes from DIY Stu and it went fairly easy. I dropped a few screws and nuts in the door. Those were a pain to get out. But overall, it's a nice straightfoward process.
And I must say, the new dew-wipes look so much better. I am very happy with the result.------------------
