Tree Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 oh! than yes, most any plastic sheet will do. I bought some adhesive online. like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264474832091 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 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 :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 welcome to the land of rare rigs. although, the last couple years have been an absolute boon to previously near-impossible-to-find replacement parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvagedcircuit Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 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.

Strokermjcomanche Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Auto body shops have some collision plastic for when vehicles get damaged. It keeps the water out and it’s already adhesive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
