As Celica owners are already aware, the
doors are bloody heavy by Japanese standard. Still think that door dampening
is a must, I’ve decided to proceed. Had great success with Dynamat Xtreme in my previous ride, but I am experimenting
with a cheap alternative at 20% the cost of DX.
I found Hunter
Tape at a local contractor’s hardware store meant for roof/gutters. Upon examining the material, it appears as something
worth trying.
Good that the back of the Celica door panel came padded,
which is not the case for all Japanese make.
Unlike the usual Japanese car where you see a thin layer of
clear plastic, the one found in stock Celica is quite good by stock standard, with a thin layer of foam/sponge sheet laid
on the clear plastic. Too bad, still not good enough for ICE'er...so off to the garbage dump....
Heat gun is optional in this case, but a roller will be a
must to ensure an even and good application. In the absence of a roller, a table spoon is just as good, especially pressing
down confined contours.
