best way to seal damplifier pro to doors/sealing door jams with butyl rope


Recommended Posts

Morning fellow headz!

I would like to know what is the best method to apply damplifier pro to my doors.

1) Apply adhesive to the door it self and damplifier, then seal together or..

2) Apply adhesive to door panel and damplifier, then seal together.

#1 sounds like it would make a more sound contact, but if I have to get a new window, or re-do my tint, I'd have to tear it out.

#2 sounds more practical, but I'm curious if it will affect my custom door panels further down the road. ???

Second, has anyone used butyl rope to help seal their door jams, trunk seal, hood seal? Is this a good idea, or...????

Why would you apply adhesive? The butyl on the deadener is the adhesive. In a sense. Heat it up, roll it on, whambamthankyoumaam

Thanks Leo, I know. My question was adhesive on the door and liner, or on the door panel and liner. I really like the idea of industrial Velcro.. Not permanent, but very secure.

I personally would not use contact cement that comes in the aerosol cans.

It will get down right expensive if your doing a lot of liner and the price you pay for some 3m super 77 or 90 is not worth it at all when you can get a gallon of the good stuff for $20-30...

This Weldwood Landau top and trim contact cement is the best there is.

It is the industry standard in car audio and even upholstery for wrapping vinyl/leather/enclosures.

It wont let go due to high heat or humidity like other contact cements do.

You typically have to order this stuff.

If you want to buy some at a local store this is the same manufacture but does not hold up to high heat no where near as well, but still works great.

I tend to use it here and there for carpeting speaker boxes when I run out of the blue can stuff and need to get a box done, still never had a issue with it either.

But I wouldnt trust it for wrapping of headliners, door panels, or any other items that get exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time, or that has a lot of stretched vinyl.

Both of these you can spray it on if you have a compressor and a hvlp spray gun, otherwise just using cheap foam or chip brushes is fine too.

Apply to both the liner and the panel of the door, let tack up so its dry to the touch and then mate the two together.

How exactly are you wanting to use this stuff?

Because if you put it around your trunk and hood to make a seal chances of getting said item to open back up again will be slim.

It is all butyl and there is no non-stick surface on it like there is on a deadener, so whatever it touches or gets compressed too will pretty much be stuck together.

Opening said door, trunk, or hood would be a lot of work like trying to remove deadener that you previously installed.

Thanks audiofanaticz! I've never really seen the butyl rope before...I wasn't aware of it being two sided! I'll check in to the products you listed above. Back to my question, when gluing liner, would it be best to glue liner to door panel, or liner to door?
