yea...someone did their entire interior in it. I remeber them saying it really cut down on the noise and stiffened up all the parts making them feel stronger.

I did most of my interior in Line-X:
Everything in the rear cargo area (except for the buckets that go in each side panel) and all four pillars (tall trim bits between the front and back door and back door and rear side windows.
I had the center dash bezel test sprayed with Line-X and it just made the piece too thick. Things just wouldn't fit back together properly. So I did the dash, console, and door panels with Duplicolor spray-on bedliner. The spray-on liner is thinner so everything fit back together nicely.
I gave each piece a light sanding with a mouse and some 120 grit, then put about three even coats on each. It gives everything a more consistent look and feel too...GM really cheaped-out on the quality of the plastic in the 03-07s IMO. I found it's best to let the piece dry overnight and then give it a wipe down with a new, dry sponge...this smooths out the rough spots in the texture. Sometimes the spray-on liner can develop a slightly different texture depending on which way the spray hits the item. The sponge knocks the 'gritty' edge off of the rough spots and evens the whole thing out.
The Line-Xed rear pieces I had encapsulated and that definitely added to the weight, durable feel, and seemed to reduce the squeaks coming from the rear. For my door panels (which are done in the spray-on product mentioned above) I did two things to reduce squeaking: I ran a bead of weather stripping around the inside lip of each panel, and secondly squirted a couple shoots of Great Stuff (expanding foam insulator) in the cracks and crevices on the back side of the door panel where things are plastic welded together. That stuff gets in those nooks and crannies and just fills them right up and seems to keep them from rubbing together and squeaking so much.
