Dennis, what do you mean about "inner to replace the door curtain?"

Also, John, I used (and continue to use when the opportunity arises) the
stuff you get at lower that is a light aluminum flashing with an asphalt
backing, $17.00 per roll much cheaper than the audio products and does
pretty much the same thing. I have done my doors, slider, back hatch,
sidewalls, and engine lid cover as well as the whole area under the back
bench.

Yesterday I put a new luggage rack seal on my westy and found there was
room for 3/8 inch of closed cell poly foam to go between the rack and the
roof of the car, so I taped a large piece in place under the fiberglass
rack. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet but I know the rank generates
its own wind noise, and besides the cabin can always use a little less heat
from the sun.

I  will put the peel-and stick stuff on the inside the next time I have the
front headliner out.

Dennis is right, stick-on mat sure makes the doors sound better.
