I'd just cut my own. You can buy heavy-mil plastic in rolls in the tarp section at the local hardware store. Granted, you're going to have about 1000 times more than what you'd need, but a large roll of it is about $12-$15. Then just duct-tape it on, since it doesn't have to be pretty, being covered up with the door panels anyway.

I thought of that but I was hoping to fine something close to the original type it seemed to be more rigid like a black plastic coated paper.

Myabe you can make your own?

Could try using a grocery bag and putting some tar or perhaps a spray on undercoating and see if that works.

Good point didn't think of that, just that it was water resistant.

Maybe you could try an auto upholstery shop. They might have some tricks up their sleeve.

Dummy me My wife work with the thermoforming that makes thoses blister packs you know the ones that get you cussing to open up well i got some of that heavy stuff so I'll pattering it for my truck door tough stuff ridged yet flexable and clear, bty felt paper is not good once it gets wet its done or expose to uv it deterioates fast, its design was for a air barrier between shingles and the decking to keep the shingles cool other wise they will eventally stick to the decking materials thus shorting it's life span.


too much info??? :roll:
