Has anyone installed sound deadening in the winter? Im wondering if I'll be able to install it when its cold out.

How much, if any, harder is it to install...


Thanks

As long as you have aheated garage you should be alright, but if you don't I would reccomend waiting till spring.

I installed my first round of Dynamat sound deadener when it was about 8 degrees outside and it only got colder after that because it was fall. Wait until spring to do the install because at least with the warm weather it will give the sound deadener a long enough time to cure to the metal in the car.

Here is my little how to:

Start your vehicle
Put the sound deadener sheets on the engine
Cut as needed and install

Swear profusely when the sound deadener touches the cold metal and gets really hard really fast.

Two words for heating up/melting sound deadening when it's cold.

I work in a welding shop I could help you guys out. We have like 4 torches and I could get that dynamat warm quick :D

It is MUCH easier to apply when you can let it sit in the hot sun for about an hour before applying it. I wouldn't try it now.
