let my questions begin.
While waiting for parts and such for exterior/body/bla bla work to arrive - undertook 7 hour interior detail - beyond detail really and very satisfying.
Today I lifted up carpet in cargo area and pulled out some frightening carpet type pad underneath / junked it really should have burned it.
Shop vacd, scrubbed, washed, sheep doped “floor”, rust spots and assessed. Bla bla bla
I guess I was overly zealous cause apparently while cleaning front I think I knocked the door too hard cause now the driver side speaker doesn’t work.
Of course the drivers side.
And I had intentions updating stereo (think last update was 2010) and of course inspecting window regulators (manual crank and i would rather not convert to power) as they’re gritty and stiff.
Windows up and down can live without for time being it’s 40 out today- but tunes no way!
But now front doors at least are being fast tracked.
Got panels off - yada yada - and for any DIYERS I found a paint key was a genius tool to pull out window crank pin without it shooting across garage.
Soooo to the questions-
After inspecting window and replacing speaker
I’d love any tips recommendations thoughts about reinstalling panel and backing.

- sound deafening mats (brands superior or not)
- Any type of sound / heat Installation?
- thoughts on Butyl Adhesive Sealant or tape? Is there an alternative? Seems like environmental moisture & heat could eventually make for a gooey mess…Like the one I found! Leads to next question-
- should old butyl adhesive should be removed?
- have moisture barrier methods changed from glorified shower curtain since she was born in 1988? And I’m not too good for plastic if that’s that.
- I haven’t removed plastic yet as I suppose I should attempt to get it as a whole piece to make template for replacement - what’s best method for getting it off?
- And for curiosities sake what is the odd little pocket thing in bottom of door with specific moisture barrier sealed cut in? Photos included
