Yea, glue it down up sideways with spray adhesive. I was gonna take my door panels off and glue some to the inside of the outside panel. That way the air in the door will further insulate the heat transfer.

My dad and I used the foam padding used under carpets to insulate the doors on an 05 ford crown Vic. Cut down on road noise a whole lot (it was a cop car, the plastic door panels and empty door shells let a lot of noise through). I picked up a bunch out of a flooring store dumpster, plan on using it on the roof and behind the door panels of my trucks

I used an off brand dyna mat under all the carpeting, inside the doors, and above the headliner on my 69 Ford and it made a HUGE difference. You can actually hold a conversation now without yelling at eachother. :P

I put the EZ cool in my truck. Cut out sheets for the roof and doors.
It made a noticeable difference on heat and sound. Now I can touch the headliner and doors without getting burned.
The wind/road noise dropped nicely too. Now I just have a damn wind whistle from the wing windows.

I have used Fat Mat with great success in multiple applications,
As far as spray adhesive I just make friends with the local upholstery shop and take a 1 gallon paint can in get it filled for 30 bucks and use an old siphon feed gun with a 2.0 tip.
All the spray adhesive I have found in a can is not holding up to what I need ( mainly haedliners and A and B pillar vinyl trim)

Do not use the peel and stick on the roof. it will not stay there in the phoenix heat no matter what adhesive you use.
A big help here is to spray lizard skin on the interior. Basically latex paint with microspheres.
