This is sort of related..... I replaced most of the plastic washers that hold the "blanket" in place.  Most were broken on our 2003 coach and some had even melted.  I asked the factory if metal washers could be used, but they recommended staying with the plastic.  I found similar washers at Lowes, but the hole was too large.  The factory can supply them.  I don't recall the price, but it was much less than the shipping cost.  I replaced about 40 washers.

You can do a little research on the internet for sound deadening materials. Lots of info on marine/boating sites. Can be quite expensive. I'm sure the factory can supply it too. My experience for application was to use contact adhesive backed with stainless fender washers and screws.
