Default Will Dynamat cause long term rust problems?

Just wondering if I dynamat the interior if it will cause me problems down the road with rust etc?
Just curious if this has been discussed since water mosture might get trapped underneath and then cause corrosion/rust.
How hard is it going to be to remove if I ever want to down the road?
Thanks in advance...

Fiberglass doesn't rust.

the first part of your question is it wont cause rust even on a steel car because it is an air tight seal and foil faced unlike some house hold insulations. as far as removing it...i dont know maybe someone else has done it...

Removing it would be a serious pain in the.... rear facia.

The dynamat typically goes under the carpet, on the inside of the car so there it's highly unlikely to have water get in under it. Of course, as midyearvette pointed out, it should be an airtight seal to the floor pan.
