Door membrane

[VR6 0]

Anyone suggest some good stuff to seal the inner door membrane to the door itself?

 

Used some shite supposedly water-proof stuff but it's shite tbh.

 

Do you actually need the whole door membrane on? On one of my other Golf's, all I did was hack a decent chunk out of the existing membrane and fixed it half in and half out of the hole at the bottom of the door. This routed all of the water into the bottom of the door and out of the drain holes. Worked a treat as well.

I've always been able to reuse the factory plastic membrane. Just make certain the goo that holds it down is warm and it lifts right up. Even on the few I've ripped while working in haste haven't had any water problems But then again we(east coast USA) might not get as much rain as you (GB)

good article there. I had to sort the doors on my mk2 GTi. Had a puddle in the back seat :/

VAG have ditched the lovely, prefab plastic screens in favour of a generic piece of grey foam, which you have to shape yourself and bond to the door using HD double-sided tape. I used this stuff on my MK2 golf to good effect and due to the thickness of the foam, it actually reduced road noise a bit.

 

Anway....I redid the membrane on my driver's door over the weekend and I just used some shed waterproofing plastic sheeting and some HD Duct tape. In the heavy rain we've had recently, not a drop in the car, so it works. Looks a mess but is irrelavant as it's behind the trim.

Just one thing I'm wondering about, with audioscape pods, would I need to leave a hole around the speaker on the sheet or is it fine without.

Sorry if it's a dumb question but my car didn't came with any plastic sheets :mad: so I have no idea if it will affect the sound or not.

cata, i used these behind the speakers in my pods, jim at audioscape recommended them

GIXXERUK, did you just use that behind the pods or for the whole door?

 

Cheers

cata, just behind the speakers , i dynamatted the doors and then put neoprene pads over that

That clears it up!

Thanks

Ah, can't find a place that sells it, you don't happen to have a link handy do you? :)

The audioscape website doesn;t have them anywhere.
