system rattles car

[muntus]

As far as eDead goes, it is made of SBR (styrene-butadiene-rubber) or known as Asphalt (with rubber added). the problem with SBR is will have long term degradation due to the high heats that happen inside a car. This will cause the mat to peel away from inverted and vertical surfaces.

It was my understanding that eDead hasn't been made with asphalt for years.:shrug: Is there some recent news about eDead and butyl we should know about, or is this just internet knowledge from 4 years ago?

I know when I was installing my eDead, all I did to install it was to press it in with my fingers. I didn't think this was possible with an asphalt based deadener. Btw, everything that I pressed on with my fingers two years ago is the same place, including the 3-4 layers on the underside of the roof.

If they have changed it, it would have been in the last year, as a friend of mine ordered some before last summer direct from them (employee discount) and some of it starting peeling this summer here in Tucson, AZ (110-115 degrees). We pulled it all off, and replaced it with Second Skin (made in Phoneix, AZ)

He might have got an old batch or something :shrug: this is why I assumed it was still asphalt.
