There are large gains in passenger comfort to be had here.   I used normal 
household door weatherstripping around the opening, so that the flange of 
the removable hatch presses firmly against it.   The entire firewall and the 
hatch are covered first with Dynamat, then some generic JC Whitney heat/noise 
absorbing material (cheap and effective).   My car is a LOT quieter inside 
than most (I also have a stainless steel second firewall, with more JC 
Whitney stuff between the two firewalls, which is doublessly helping as well).
