Make sure if you get some type of alternative that isnt meant for sound deadening that it wont melt if you have hot summers like I do in Alabama.

I have not used dynomat in my truck yet, but I have my Honda accord. I had two 12 subs that vibrated the roof. So I took the headliner off. Then I bought two rolls of dynomat. It think they were $40 a piece. I practically covered the roof with it then put the headliner board back on. Wow it was worth for several reasons. One, no more roof rattle hence the sound system sounded better. The interior does not get nearly as hot. This makes the ac cool the car so much better. Plus a quieter ride.

And this is why I'd like to use the remainder of the Dynamat I have to do my roof of my SUperCrew but I'm finding it hard to find info on taking it down without messing it up. I think it'll be hard to fit through any opening in the truck. I've heard its put in before the windows. But if it gets replaced I know they don't take out the front or rear windows. Any suggestions anyone? I don't have a moonroof either.

Had to drop mine to repair the sunroof. After everything was loose, the headliner rested on the dash and the headrests. It could have been taken out at that time but was not necessary.
The most important part was to find out before starting how everything had to be unhooked and removed; the dome lights, post sails, sun visors, etc.
Make a list of what needs to be removed and get the directions for each part removal.

Let me ask, when you pulled yours down, what held it up? Was it the visors and posts and stuff, or are there little magnets between the roof an headliner to keep them together? I figured I'd have to work front to back while trying to put any of the Dynamat and just put it in places where there are big gaps in the metal. I was hoping this will take away that Tin Roof sound when it rains. :-) thanks for the words. Basically I've got to remove most everything that touches the headliner. I assume it will be more tedious than difficult.

The sunroof trim, lights, visors, posts, door trim, clothes hooks were all that I remember holding the liner up. Some of these items not so straight forward to remove if you do not have instructions or diagrams you will possibly break something.
You need to do your research on each item before you begin.
You also need to use latex disposable gloves on many items or you will get your hands dirty and ruin the liner. Have numerous pairs available for disassembly and reassembly.
My son and self lowered the liner, repaired the sunroof and had everything back together in 3 hours.
Then it was beerthirty.

Nice! 👍I have removed most of this stuff while changing out my interior lights to LED's or for my stereo upgrades, but I will definitely finish researching before going through with everything. Thanks for the heads up on the information though, it is very much appreciated! I'll try and take some pics and post here for anyone who is looking for similar information! Thanks Joe! :-)
