#1 sound deadening pads, door skins.

Post by poofacio » Wed Apr 22, 2020 10:32 pm

Does anyone know if the 24" x 12" sound deadening pads fitted inside early car door skins are still available?

It was a sheet of tar like stuff covered in small holes/ indentations.

Yes it is.
From your local motorfactor in white boxes.
I use loads.
Comes in 2 sizes, strips or squares.
It is self adhesive and bends very nicely using a heat gun.
Cuts with scissors. great stuff.
Is is quite heavy too, for dampening.
And its cheap.
Its true, but Enzo never said it

I've not seen the original perforated bitumen stuff but I haven't looked too hard.

We use Dynamat, or any of the cheaper knockoffs.

For the doors I usually spray a coat of contact adhesive onto the door skin first as otherwise it can peel down with a combination of heat, vibration and time.
