Big_Mark Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Right now ole Jeepys interior is ripped apart as I am preparing to install a rubber "carpet" new interior door skins and door speakers. I would like to replace the plastic seal/skin/film thingy while I am at it to help control road noise and seal it all up just a little bit more. So where do I get that stuff? or What is it called Google has failed me so I am turning to the knowledge pool called Comanche club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limeyjeeper Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I used regular 3 or 4mm clear plastic. All you are trying to do is keep any water off the door cards as the backing material absorbs moisture. Use the original ones as templates.

ghetdjc320 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 You can use POR15 on the back of the door card itself. Work wonderfully as it gets absorbed into the board and really seals it up. Instead of plastic, you can also use 1/8” dynaliner or minicel foam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htchevyii Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I usually just use thick plastic sheeting from the hardware store or in a punch a thick contractor garbage bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZJeff Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The term they used to use was "watershield paper" back when those types of things were made from some sort of wax coated butcher paper, around 1000 years ago when I started working on cars. Eagle is probably quoting Jeep's official term for it. When I have ones that tear, etc., I make a new one out of 3-4 mil think polyethylene sheet, and cut it to shape with scissors. The BEST way to attach it to the door is using the method that the factory did, which is a butyl tape. You can get the stuff on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Sealant-Headlight-Retrofit-Headlamps-Windshield/dp/B09SF18Y8T/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=butyl%2Btape&qid=1673119896&rnid=2941120011&s=automotive&sr=1-4&th=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
