[BMWCSRegistry] Door Panel Plastic Sheets

[Tom and Theresa Dreesen]

Yes but from spending 3 years in Seattle, I can attest you get 2 tenths a day for 9 months, then a three month drought.  At least we get our 60 inches (in New Orleans) in healthy spurts that can be so area specific, you can drive around the downpours.

  Ahem...  

  Allow me to share some statistics, as I sit on my patio in shorts and a tee shirt,  enjoying a cup of coffee on this warm sunny morning...

  30 year average annual rainfall, 1960 to 1990 --

  Portland, OR:  36.30 inches
  Seattle, WA:  38.00 inches
  Little Rock, AR:  74.10 inches
  Miami, FL:  55.91 inches
  New York, NY:  47.25 inches
  Charlotte, NC:  43.09 inches
  Memphis, TN:  52.10 inches
  Louisville, KY:  44.39 inches

  Where my dad lives, in Bend, OR:  12.00 inches
  Where my stepdad lives, in Burns, OR:  9.00 inches

  We're certainly not the desert SW, but please -- rains all the time?!

  My doors have clean drain holes, liners cut from heavy landscape plastic and installed when the paint was done, and are dry and rust free.

  As you were.

    If your adhesive sheets have holes, replace them.  The original plastic is over 30 years old and probably shot.  Go to Home Depot or your favorite home improvement store and get a sheet of adhesive contact paper.  The contact paper sticks to the metal with no problems  I did this on my 74 2002tii and it works great.  

    The bottom of your doors should have drain holes.  Moisture should get out unless you live in the PNW where it rains all the time and you leave your car out in the elements.

      I took my door panels off to do some power window(a misnomer if there ever was one) work and had to take off the white Plastic Adhesive sheets that seal the doors. Originally there were semi-transparent sheets from the factory.

      Two questions: should I replace the white adhesive sheets - that is, do they trap moisture somehow? And does anyone know a source for them?
