Default Door Parts Availability Question

Anyone know of a source for the plastic sheet that goes between the inner door panel and the metal part of the door? I have never seen it in any of the big part catalogs. Does the good Dr. carry it? My passenger door has it but my drivers doesn't.
Thanks
John

Go to home Depot or Lowes and get the thickest mil plastic that you can buy. Trim a little smaller than the door panel.

I thought of the HD thing but the original on the passenger side is actually molded in the shape of the inside of the door panel. I guess it's no big deal I was just wondering if the correct ones exist.
Thanks guys

Mid America is the only vendor I know of showing reproductions of those vapor barriers in their catalog. I bought used ones from a vette salvage yard before I learned of Mid America's barriers.

The plastic sheet barrier is only useful if you still have the original card board door panels to protect the cardboard from water damage, but if you already switched to a new ABS molded panels, then there is just no point of using it.

Has anyone seen the barriers that Mid America sells? Are they actually vacuum formed like the originals were? Thanks!
