It is the little details that help. The lock rods/door hardware do rattle, and dynomat won't change that (unless they hit the mat, I guess). I put vacuum hose over them. When I put the 82 TA back together, I put a lot of what we called 'dum-dum' on the back of a lot of parts, especially dash parts. That car had zero rattles/squeaks when it was done. No dynomat (which would have cut down on road noise, no doubt). I'm sure the new GM t-top weatherstrip was a big help too. Anything you can do to tighten up all the areas that get a bit loose over the years and can't be tightened up very well anymore. A little shimming here & there, etc.

You should be able to get it locally.
