To be honest, I would like to go thicker and am thinking "1/2 inch thick mud flap off of the rear of a transport truck. I would try contact cement to hold it on.
I went out for another ride last night and was so amazed at how this mod helps. I guess it's like holding your hand on a bell, it stops the ringing!
Thanks for the info. I'm familiar with that roofing product and the glue will work good with the high heat from the engine. The heavier density of the roofing stuff might be better for sound deadening than the mouse pad material. The mud flap is also a good idea too if you can get it to stick on. It will be interesting to see how well contact cement works...
