<div>I<font size="2">'ve found that removing the tar board piece being missing isn't a problem, and keeps it from falling into the window mechanism. I haven't replaced mine since their removal. I suppose you could use some dynamat (or fatmat) to replace it.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I took apart my doors to access the window mechanisms to get them to move<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">properly and discovered a few things out of the ordinary.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The thick asphaltish material used as sound deadening slumped down and fell<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">completely off of the panel on the left side. The plastic covering appeared<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">to be original. The little clip that the door card fits onto had rusted and<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">fell off. I pop-riveted it back on.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The right side sound deadening material was completely missing. I was<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">obvious that I had been in the right side before as the plastic was torn<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">and re-glued into position.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">All of the mechanisms work well after being lubricated!<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">However what recommendations do folks have to use in place of the original<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">sound deadening material? Lots of glue left on the inside of the door.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Are the small plastic/rubber pockets that the door clips fit into in the<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">metal door available?<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The vinyl is intact but the door card is warped both sides, so I think I'll<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">make a new backing from masonite.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The vinyl has obtained some bumps and twists from distortion over time. Has<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">anyone had luck moving the material back to position?<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Thanks! Jeff '67 Sqbk<br>
