Source For Door Moisture Barrier
 
Hi,

After pulling my driver/passenger door panels off a couple times for various repairs, the brittle plastic moisture barriers are mostly shredded.

Has anyone managed to find a source for a similar material that would work to replace the original stuff?

Thanks!

good old home depot...
 
painters plastic drop cloth (polyethelyene sheeting) ....go with the thick stuff at about 8 or 10 mil. It comes is large rolls for commercial applications of folded sheets for diy at hope jobs.

OR

try this out???? I have never used it in this application so I have no idea how well it would stick... http://www.homedepot.com/Paint-Drop-...atalogId=10053

I'm just going to go to home depot and walk around/ask someone to show me a material similar to the one the barrier is made out of. Then just cut to fit and transfer the little speaker cutout.
What do you guys think the black sealant is? At least in my car it is black RTV lookin stuff

I'll go check out the local Pro Build and/or Home Depot this weekend and see if they have something that closely matches the thickness of the original.

It does appear to be an RTV adhesive.

it isn't. It is 3M Butyl Paste. Find in 5 oz tubes at Napa, and other fine auto parts stores. Black and green box black and green tube with customary red 3M branding. Now you know.

PS, you can also order it in butyl strips kind of like strips of tack gum stuck to a large piece of waxed paper. Peel and stick, then stick vapor barrier to strips.
