[BMWCSRegistry] Door Panel Plastic Sheets

Re: [BMWCSRegistry] Door Panel Plastic SheetsGents 

Over here in the UK after a summer type spring very hot and dry these last two weeks have been very wet. And dismantling a show garden today ( have you heard of the 'Chelsea Flower Show' in London) it has just bucketed it down from dawn to dusk and more of the same tomorrow!

Not pleasant with rain down your neck and everything wet sticky and muddy but I guess it is all relative.........

  This year, near Charlotte, we are already 17" short on rainfall.

    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?
