What is all that stuff inside our door panels??

[ttttrigg3r]

When I took off my door panel I found a big white plastic sheet and 2 yellow foam thing. What are those things for?

[RedSiBaron]

pastic sheet is to help seal inside of the door from moisture, and the foam are filler pieces, which are intended to keep the door panel from flexing too much but are also there for side impact safety

[Chad]

The foam also breaks resonance nodes inside the door cavity. the Jute (green stuff) stops HF infiltration.

That shit is gone in mine, replaced by a layer of MLV bonded to closed cell foam. Toss some power to a door speaker and that vapor barrier becomes a kazoo. Albeit expensive MLV makes a damn fine vapor barrier without trapping moisture on the metal or in the door long-term..

hmm good info.

took mine out for weight reduction, threw it all in the trash. car got a little noisier in that area, otherwise everything is fine

Mines hallow from having a door skin put on it... the doors alot lighter and sounds...well...hallow!

I just removed the white plastic piece on the passenger side. Will this hurt at all? It doesn't look like it does anything but keep dust out. What should I do now that it's gone. I don't really know how to use MLV

I threw it away=[ i had to rip it out because it was stuck on with some glue. what do I do nowww?

[ttttrigg3r]

anyone got part numbers?

[RedSiBaron]

dude seriously, hondaautomotiveparts.com is your best friend

http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...y5=DOOR+PANELS



they are $7 each 14 and 17

i dont know how you destroyed it, i kept mine perfect every time ive had to remove them...or did you take the "i am a gorilla, plastic be GONE!" approach? haha

[ttttrigg3r]

yeah i saw that picture. It says R and L which is left and right, right? so do i want the left or right side? I need it for the passenger side. I took it off in one piece except for a rip but I didn't figure that it would stick on the glue again. I didn't wanna remove the glue because it looks like a PITA to do it so I just put masking tape all around.

[RedSiBaron]

haha passenger side is right side...i just kept re-sticking it to the adhesive, worked fine, though they are easy to tear.

[ttttrigg3r]

after I clicked on buy that 7dollar part ended up to be 20dollars after shipping and handling. I think i'm gonna hit up the stealership by my house.

probably going to cost more at the dealership

when i bought my drivers side window channel it was around $30 or so on majestic hondas website and $80 when i called majestic hondas parts department, and that was with the discount i get at work.
