In the process of doing a restoration to the doors and was curious is anyone has any information on the inner door plastic. Dose anyone offer the weather seal? Or dose anyone have a solution?

I used door seals from a 97+ XJ.  ya gotta close the door a bit harder, but the extra thickness of the seal is nice :D

I think the op is referring to thin plastic water shield behind the door panel. I used some 5mil plastic sheeting from Home Depot and trimmed it to fit on my previous MJ. On my current one I’m using 1/8” dynaliner

Yeah I was referring to the plastic water shield. Thank you Pete and ghetdjc320. Not afraid of making my own, just was curious if any companies made a replacement. I have a fox body mustang and damn near everything on those reproduce :/

welcome to the land of rare rigs. :L:  although, the last couple years have been an absolute boon to previously near-impossible-to-find replacement parts. :D

Love being a part of this community, the vin registry is a godsend. It gave me some insight on how much the previous owner was a story teller on the truck, but also verified what was true.

I used some clear plastic vinyl from walmart and butyl tape, similar to what @Pete M used. Any walmart that has a crafts section has multiple thicknesses of vinyl.

What's nice about the butyl tape is that it's infinitely resealable, as long as the surface is clean. This way if you need to modify or change something inside the door you can just pull off the vinyl sheet and press it back into place and it's good to go. I used a little 1in roller to press the vinyl sheet to the butyl tape. Works a real treat. I'm going to post more about it in my main build page, but I havn't got up to it yet.
