I'm wrapping up passenger door work (replacing upper and lower seals, fixing regulator, replacing plastic tube guides, etc.) and discovered at some point a previous owner must've removed and tossed the vapor barrier. There is a thread that has a vapor barrier template with dimensions to be cut from a clear shower curtain, but I cannot find the thread. (I did use SEARCH under "vapor barrier" and but did not see that specific thread).

If anyone recalls it or has it saved as a favorite, please post a link. Trying to wrap this project up over Christmas vacation.

Thanks.

I don't recall a thread with specific dimensions.

What I did was take a piece of plastic that was oversized for the door, lay the edge along the top of the door and cut it to fit.
I had a helper hold it in place while I cut it.

Glued it into place with contact cement. Weldwood is suggested.

It makes a huge difference in the sound of the door closing.

Grind to fit, paint to match......

Here you go, start with 48 x 18 and whittle down from there:

Rob, You are an amazing wealth of pictures, dimensions and knowledge. Glad we have you.

That one was a little OCD, even for me. Must have had an extra Diet Coke that day.

Day!? Probably was doing it at 3 am

You can skip a step by going to Home Depot or similar and getting sticky-backed carpet protection plastic sheet (on a roll).

Like what you'd lay down if you had a team of workers tracking in and out of the house for a renovation, or maybe even like an open house type thing?

White translucent plastic sheet with adhesive backing, looks and sticks just like the OEM stuff.

I just use sections of Dynamat over the holes.

Rob, Thanks! That's the thread. I'm saving this now in my "928" folder.

Spencer, that's a cool idea. I had never heard of adhesive liner before. I already bought the clear shower curtain liner, but may use your method when I do the driver's side.
