I am installing door beams in my euro 79 and the door vapor barriers are shot. I have some good 1/16" rubber sheeting that I'm thinking about using in place of the plastic. Is there a spray on glue that does not harden like the 3M stuff. I have removed vapor barriers on other vehicles and the glue was soft but not messy and the barrier could be pressed back in place. I have also seen the butyl and the white stuff which I want to avoid. Is there such a thing as Vapor
Barrier Glue?

Could always use Dynamat or similar and get sound deadening to boot.

I used sticky tape (Sellotape you call it?) on mine

Chris, after reading the post where someone had to work on their door after Dynamat was installed I have second thoughts about using it.

Marton are you referring to ordinary clear packing tape or a type of double sided tape?

I would think that double sided foam tape would work well, as used in mounting art work, photo's etc.

Ordinary clear packing tape, I guess doubles sided would also be OK but at the time I just used what tape I had on the shelf.

These things have vapor barriers? Maybe that explains the condition of my door panels.

Instead of rubber you can use regular plastic sheeting used for vapor barriering a hosue. Any home inprovement store has it. As for securing, regular tape will dry out really fast. Maybe using a tape for outdoor use is a littel better.

The heavy plastic drop cloth stuff from Home Depot works fine. If you want to be able to pull it off again like the original was supposed to, find some 3M Strip-Caulk and roll a thin strip of it. Press the thin strip of it out along the contours and edges before placing the shield.

The simple way though is to use double-sided carpet tape and call it a day. Cut the wide tape into 3/4" width and just press them in place where you want them. when your plastic shield is ready, pull the paper backing from the face of the tape progressively, as you place the plastic tight on the door face.

For the plastic sheet-- Cut a paper pattern uing a scissors and slow-tack blue masking tape to hold it in place on the door. Trying to cut poly sheeting in place is a challenge and always results in rough edges and baggy sections where you pull on it while cutting. The paper template means you can cut both sides at once and have nice clean edges.

hot glue? silicone rubber?

I did mine w/dyna matte and it's a bitch to work on the door if you cover the screws/bolts... super sound deadening though. vapor barrier? careful, a fart is a turd honking it's horn....

Hi I found that if you go to the dollar store look for heavy duty IE thick clear shower curtains this stuff is flexible and i use either contact cement like was done at the factory or you can use the 3M clear packing tape the thick stuff good luck, Stan

Maybe but on a hot day the glue can melt

I used sound deadening material on both the outer and inner skins of the doors. The most difficult part is removing the door panel and it sounds like you're there already. I posted a picture of one of the doors at the link below.

I got some packing material to use as a vapor barrier and put it on with glue from a spray can.

Note, the dripping part is missing here. You need to tape an extra piece of plastic on the inside of the plastic in front of the hole, so that it falls between the two metal door panels.
