Door Vapor Barrier
I was wondering what to use to hold the plastic vapor barrier on the door. It fits between the door panel and the door. I would like to use something that if I would have to work on anything inside the door at a later date I could get it off without ruining it. Thanks for any info. Chuck

Just get some 3 mil plastic sheeting... duct tape, or silicone it in place...
The sticky roll the fella above me talks about works too... just dont get it on anything!

Do you even need to replace the vapor barrier plastic if you have aftermarket door panels that have the newer ABS plastic core? The old stock door panels had a cardboard frame back so I can see why it was needed for that.

Chucks,
Thanks for the link. That's pretty neat stuff, insulation and moisture proof. I'll have to look into this after a few other projects.

I'm 37 and I don't like to work in a cold garage.
