Well, recently i have been doing a lot of research in this area, i've many of the name brand stuff, and every time i come back to ice gaurd, i cant find it at home depot or lowes or anything, i have to get it at a specialty store or have lowes order it for me, but it works just as well, if not better than any name brand sound deadener. it applies the same way, it has an adhesive back, and is used in most roofing applications in the eastern part of the united states so it may be more accessible there in hardware stores as well.
dont waste your money on name brand stuff,
65 bucks will get you 2 full cars worth of this material.
2 10'x10' squares in each purchase.
look into it :)

thanks for the heads up there. My only concern would be out here in the desert(110-120) it gets really really hot in cars. We have problems getting the descent stuff to stick often times, and even then it will still start to become more and more of a liquid form..
2 more months till heaven is here....

Yes, I have used Ice guard in shingling work near the edges of a roof to prevent ice daming. In warm weather, it is both pliable and easy to cut & shape. A lot cheaper than all the other car products out there too.
Next time you go to HD or Lowes, go to the shingles and roofing supplies section and ask one of the older guys what they have. The newbies may not know what you are talking about unless they know the products well.
Have recommended this one to many, but most get chicken and go with the expensive stuff as they do not know what it can do or where to look for it. My main concern is adhesion in the colder winter months. It does have good adhesion on a flat horzontal surface... but not sure how well it holds in hot weather on a trunk lid etc.
Any comments out there on same?

From my experience, it worked incredibly well on the floor, and any other horizontal surfaces. But when it comes to vertical walls, whenever it got above 90, or below 15, it would begin to pry itself up, and start to slide down.
I don't know how humidity may come in to play with it, as I live in Colorado, and we don't know what humidity is.
I will however, continue to use it every time for the floor and any other horizontal areas needing sound deadening. But I'm still in search of my product of choice for the walls, and if I ever need to do a trunk lid again.
