Re: Sound proofing Doors
About the only thing I can think of that should be inside your doors anyway is some rust proofing.
Get the kind that waxy and drippy and literally fogs the inside of the door. You can buy a few different brands; they're all good. The product will be clear and make a mess of your floor as you leave the door open for a few days and let it run out the drain holes onto a piece of scrap cardboard. It'll save your doors but will only give a small to moderate amount of sound proofing. If your doors were all apart, you could sound proofing adhesive sheets but by the sounds of it, you're too late for that.

Re: Sound proofing Doors
I used undercoating in the doors.
If you were driving the truck without door seals and with rust holes before the repairs it's going to be a night and day difference even without the extra sound deadener in the door. |

Re: Sound proofing Doors
Spray foam will trap moisture as will stick-on foam padding or pretty much anything stick-on, fiberglass for sure will. Undercoating or something similar is the easiest and impervious to water or trapping water. If your covering the inside door panels with a material or vinyl then undercoat the door skin and use something like Dynomat on the inner panel. You just need to change the resonance of the outer skin to a level that we can't hear at. so covering the entire outer skin is not needed.

Re: Sound proofing Doors
Here's what I did to my doors to give access for that very reason. Cut a hole and used an old set of doors to cut panel out of. Now it is a screw on/off access panel. It will be covered with material when all said and done.

Re: Sound proofing Doors
I said this in another post and just copy/pasta here.

adding fiberglass batting will do almost nothing. seal air leaks especially in the window channels and add some mass to the door.

Re: Sound proofing Doors
i cut raammat into 6x6 squares to stick on the outer skin of my doors
sound deadening does not have to have full coverage to work and in our trucks is of marginal value since i have full door panels i also stuck a layer on the face of the door
