Default 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!

- Chris

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.
