"...chassis stiffness improvement, sound damping, and reduction of
vibration and infiltration of air, water and dust...."    I'm all for that!

Yes, but also increased moisture retention and NO increased chassis
stiffness (frame, silly), very little sound damping (it's a convertible for
gosh sakes!!!!!!), little vibration reduction (the frame is already VERY
stiff!!) and you already have significant air, water, and dust infiltration
(it's a convertible for gosh sakes!!!!!!).

Save you money.
