Thanks Brian. I had thought of doing something similar, but we are planning a bit of a trip and a few modifications that will require being able to open and close the windows regularly. Also, the lock on one of the windows is broken so I have to sort that out as well.

I think we need to have a good look at the whole vehicle and work out a plan. From the reading I've done so far, it looks like you have to strip a 110 down to a fair degree to do a proper job of sound deadening.

You could glue the foam to one window. That way you could still open/close it without dislodging the foam. Dont know how you go getting new channels or lock assemblies. Going to go the insulation with the 6X6 but still haven't decided which one to use - like you I am concerned about trapping water underneath it.

If you'd like to keep the sliders, check out Garrison Outfitters. They sell better than stock replacement window rubbers and have a YouTube video showing how.

With respect to dynamat.... Check out something similar to "peel-n-seal", roof flashing material (i purchased it through Amazon). It's much cheaper, and pretty much the same; foil backed self adhesive. I got the largest roll and did my whole deefer.
