I'm assuming it was used to help dampen sounds. I did a few 'tap' tests to find hollow area's or ding areas and focused on covering those places. It became a lot more dampened after application.

I did go on a test drive and was a little less noisy from the rear but the real test will be a rain-weather drive. Next step is to save up some more doe to grab a megapack of husmat or something and fully line the trunk area. Work in progress as life goes on!
