bracing mini cooper doors...

Recommended Posts

well since i put in the 2 15" BL's on the sundown 3000d, i have NO windshield flex, a little roof flex which is no biggie, but the worst is the doors...the body panels are so thin and theres just a single support bar inside it, which flexs with it against the body panel. i put Great stuff foam and peel & seal. i know peel and seal isnt real deadener, but ive used it before and itll deaden sound for sure, maybe not as good but itll do the job. well it did hardly nothing. what would solve it is fill the whole door with expanding foam but that isnt an option, becuase i obviously need the windows to go up and down.

any ideas? pics of my door panels should be in the wall thread aronud the last page i believe.

Peel n' seal doesn't work because the adhesive sucks. It doesn't deaden and it surely will hardly stiffen. You just wasted time & money on it and will have to peel it off to apply something that will work. You need as much mass as possible and stiffness if you can add it. If there are any way to make little braces like you would in a sub box it will help, but I'd start with a good 5 layers of mat on the skins first. 5 layers of Peel n doesn't stick won't do anything.

2nd Skin, Raam, or Cascade are your only real choices.
