Did I screw up? Soundeadening.

Hmmmm.

Just saw some pics online and it seems that I've done my job differently. Please take a sec to look at the driver door (under my pics section) As you can see almost 100% of surface is covered with the material. I had two monsterous holes taking aprxmtly 40% and covered them with several layers of fatmat just leaving enough room for the lock mechanism to operate. I thought this is the right way to go. So far works for me

Now I see some pics with people NOT covering the holes and simply covering the surface of the door only. So holes are wode open.

Did I do everything right or should I again?

I would have done something to firm up the deadener covering up the holes, but definitely the right thing to do covering them.

Thank God. Cause it would be easier to replace the doors than to attempt and work with this dead-sticky stuff again.

MTT - you are right. I used a piece of relatively thin but rigid plastic to give more support to the sheets vibration resistance. It is not visible on the picture as it was installed inside the door and than covered with sheets on top.
