Yes ... I need to do this. One question, what happens when you seal the door then your window is broken or your power window motor dies? Is that deadening even remotely easy to remove? I have installed it a lot of times, never uninstalled it tho.

 

^lol - classic fear for a GM owner [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Before you flame - every GM car I have ever owned with power windows developed issues over time. so there [img]tongue.gif[/img]


Anyway - it's not like the stuff just peels off (well maybe dynamat [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) but it's not like you welded a panel on there

 

I work at an auto wrecker ... we sell "EASY" 3 Chrysler motors to every one GM. Probably 2 Fords to each GM too.

Thanks for the input tho, will think about it.

 

^ Oh I have never had a motor go bad..

Lets see...., wires fatigued and broke in door jam of one car (nice one GM), um, lift fell apart on another, had 3 cars where the guides became so sticky that you had to help the window up - lube the guides and a week later it is the same crap, that was special...

Anyone else notice that GM cars have the slowest windows on the planet too? Almost every other power window I have seen is way faster. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]


You had to go and get me started...

 

All domestic cars have crappily designed window systems, for me I have fixed the power windows in Dodge Shadows the most, the window always seems to be falling off the guides in those. Anyways to the topic at hand, is what I would do is dampen the metal only, then make covers for any holes in the panel, apply damping to them (the covers) then screw them on with foam gaskets, that way you still have access if it's needed.

 

I like DWVW's idea ... sounds like lots of work ... my kind of project.

Oh, and Dukk ... GM windows are WAY slow. Camaro/Firebird ones are pathetic

 

I know - I had a Z28 [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]

My 1980 fullsize Jimmy was the worst though.

I like DWVWs idea.
