First step is
removing door panels. There are three plastic tips under the door
handle. Press firmly with a flat screwdriver. Then pull the
handle, it will easily come loose. To see detailed description of
removing door panels, See  |
 |
There are
3 screws inside and there's one screw on the door opening handle.
Take them out, take off the electic plug for window openers. |
 |
When
you take out the door panel, there's a nylon fog cover. It's glued
to inner door sheet with a sticky material. Sound deadening
material will be added to the outer door bare metal pointed with
yellow arrows. |
 |
Deadening
material is a self sticking asphalt based, flexible, heavy sound
insulation panel. There are several brands on the market having
different characteristics and prices. I've chosen the cheapest.
It's called Tander and produced by Dupont. |
 |
I
have applied the tander to any surface over the outer and inner
door sheet metal. Normally sovering half of the bare metal will
suffice. We don't want to make the door very heavy, it may affect
the door joints. |
 |
I put the original nylon cover back. |
 |
Sound
absorbing foam, which can be found in any hardware store, it's
used for home insulation but working great on car doors. I've
sticked it over the nylon cover with double sided duck tape. |
 |
Rear
doors are also processed. The problem is removing the door panels.
Otherwise it's an easy process and really worth the effort. |
