The dealer supplied another set which I installed.......can't say I noticed any difference in road noise and I believe that the road surface has more to do with the road noise than anything else (assuming the same tires). The round body plugs should have been installed at the assembly plant, but if missing should definitely be replaced/installed.
How do you know if they're missing?

I was hoping for some other DIY tips to reduce road noise (mainly @ highway speeds; seeems to be the big issue).
Or has anyone done anything complex like add more insulation to the fenders?

Thanks!

Default solution?

OK so I have narrowed my solution down to using dynamat extreme to remove resonance on the floor within the cabin and adding a layer of dynaliner (mass loaded vinyl with a cell foam layer) to block out sound....

Has anyone attempted this or should I expect only marginal results? Also, can I attempt this in the doors also?
