Default Door Panel Installation

Ok, the next piece of the puzzle to go in on my vette is the door panels. I was just wondering about the vapor barrier. I have some of the Reflectix left over, do you think it would make a good barrier? Do you think it will interfere with the door at all? Has anyone tried this? I will let you know how it comes out. I am gonna try it on one door anyway and see how it works.

We tried the reflectix on thew doors of our 69 and it was just thick eonugh that we could not get the panels to fit quite right and the Velcro would not hold. So we ended up taking it off.

Eddie... I recently finished this and found that the reflectex was too thick. Went with Dynamat which provided the seal and really made the door seem more solid/quite. Here is a pic.

Good Luck! Ed
