How do you go about this.
ive taken the door card off. i take it you remove the polythene cover?
what about all the wires and linkages for the door handle, and the large holes etc.
looks like a bit of a job!! help

remove the sheeting, remove all the clips and wires, clean with a strong cleaner and apply matting only after you have heated it with a heat gun.

cheers, yeah it was but well worth it. I get a thud when I shut my doors (just like a BM!)

This is what I did.


I sealed the door for maximum effect, I used a heat gun and cheap seem roller (several of them) from Wilko's, you MUST heat the deadening so it sticks on and stays stuck on. I found that Methylated spirit shifted the gunk left by the original moisture barriers.

Do both the inside and outside skin on the door. You do get a nice thud when you shut the door's now, instead of the clink you got before, it has improved the sound from the front speakers dramatically.

What sound deadening is that your've used?

S!

+1 for sealing the holes

Makes all the difference imho

I used sheets of aluminium cut to size which I then siliconed on and secured with a few self tappers

It is a slow labourious job but the results are really worth it
