Most people judge the capability and cues for the failure of a CLD sound deadening material by the wrong standard.
They look for obvious visible failure. Did it melt? Did it drip? Did it fall off? Did it slide down the panel? Did it make a mess? If the answer is no, they assume the material is still fine and all is good with their installation.
That is not how a constrained layer damper works, and it is certainly not how its failure is determined.
A CLD does not exist to look clean inside a door, roof, floor, or trunk. Its job is to reduce panel resonance. If it is no longer reducing panel resonance, or is doing far less of it than intended, then it has failed or is failing, whether you can see visible cues for it or not.
