Both areas were very open & allowed for me to get my hand back behind some of the reinforcing brackets.

Here is some of the back wall of the rear cargo area

I sprayed the inside of the outer metal skin w/in the fender wells. I also sprayed in b/w the outer and inner sheet metal skin in the areas where the 2 had a gap and you could get the nozzle in.

I decided to start in these areas, not the floor! Anything to make it easier to get to them. I had to be able to get in the car to spray these areas, so I did not want to be standing of sitting on fresh sound eliminator!

I pulled out all the speakers and used Dynamat where the plates touch the mounting plates.

I took out the speaker baffles in the sail panels...

****************************************
NOTE: above 3 picks are of Creative2’s car. He managed to capture much better images of these areas then I was able too!
****************************************

This entire area was totally coated.

In the end, I managed to coat the inner sheet metal...the backside of the inner sheet metal...and inner side of the outer sheet metal.

****************************************
FLOOR
****************************************

All that was left was under the carpet. I cleaned out any dirt and sprayed away.

I coated everything very thickly. I have no idea the number of cans I used,
but it had to be close to 2 dozen (on the whole car).

I started in the rear. I figured it was easier to get in and out thru the doors, so I did not want to block them.
