[Elantra GT] Bedliner in the Sparewell (was Re: New '05 Elantra GT)

[Pierre Danis]

The particular product I used was Excel EPM-6 which I purchased at Home Depot. It is a liquid elastic polymer used mainly for roofs. 

  PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
  EPM-6 is a ready to use, protective roof and deck coating for use on dry surfaces. It is a thick, viscous liquid that is brush 
  or roller applied and forms a completely waterproof rubber barrier.

I brushed on multiple coats most everywhere I could in the hatch area for three reasons.
 
1. Waterproofing (to make doubly sure a water leak repaired by the dealer did not recur). 
2. Sound deadening without the stink (on top of which I may add Dynamat). 
3. Protecting the paint (it dries to a tough coat).

For what it's worth, it has been on for close to two years and I am satisfied with the results. 

I had tested it on a piece of sheetmetal beforehand and I would recommend anyone else do the same.
