05 Quest Underbody Coating

Have a new 05 Quest with about 6000 km on it and the spray on undercoating/insulation/rust proofing has fallen off. Yes fallen off. Peeled like old paint. It was a semi soft rubber compound that helped to deaden the sound. Van is now very noisy on the highway especially in the rain with the bare wheel wells. Anyone else have this problem? Nissan has suggested "Rust Check" which solves the rust proofing problem not the noise level in the van. Anyhelp is appreciated.
Thanks

I just happened to look under my 2004 over the weekend and saw that the rust proofing was pealing away. Was too concerned with it at the time. Just thought is was a poor job that they did in the plant. Guess I need to look into getting some rust proofing done because I live in New York.

As for the noise level, I did not notice if it is actually getting louder. It has always been loud driving in the rain. It is so loud that it scares the kids and we can not have a normal converation without yelling.
