edd_t Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 My window motor broke a few weeks back. When replacing it I found that the moisture barrier inside the door had been ripped to pieces, no doubt by the chump that installed my alarm. At the same time I've found that my speakers have destroyed themselves, the cones just flaked away So I've bought some new speaker brackets from TrickTT and have decided to replace the moisture barrier at the same time. Is there any after market stuff people would recommend? Ideally with some sort of noise insulation I guess. (and not too expensive ) Cheers, Edd...

mwilkinson Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) A lot of people just dont bother replacing it. I don't think it makes that much of a difference. If you really feel the need to barrier the door you could use dynamat or e-dead (sound deadening). Thus insulating and improving the acoustic properties of the door? I have used e-dead as it was a fraction of the cost of dynamat and identical in property and application.

edd_t Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 cheers fella, i'll check out the e-dead stuff, i've seen the dynamat and thats way too expensive at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Missing the moisture barrier is a PITA as the inside of the door card can go all mouldy. I've creatively used cling film in the past, although hardly the most suitable solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L18msy Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I would recommend replacing the rain screen as you will end up with a water leak into the cabin. In work we use a thick sheet of polythene and stick it to the door with spray glue but i also run a small bead of sikaflex around the outer edge and tape it down with masking tape just to make sure no water gets through.

edd_t Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 oh ok cool. next question then, should i use both polythene (that i can get easily from work yey) as well as something like dynamat/e-dead stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 This may sound like the obvious answer, but... If you want sound deadening and a heavier door, sure. If you just want to protect from moisture, then no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
