silicone to stop rattles?
my door covers rattle! when the bass comes on, this is what im thinkin of doin...
pull of the cover, apply 'globs' of grey silicone to the metal parts of the door that rest on the inside of the cover, so there will be a 'base' for the cover, this will stop them vibrating no?
and maybe some silicone around the edges of the covers will help?
id let it dry all night and day and then put it on back, id use a tube for each door maybe?
is there anything better to use, i thought of silicone cause its easy to use/come off...
if it works id line the other panels with it as well
btw, all clips an fittings for the covers are correct, they are firmly on but still vibrate

Sorry to hijack the thread but what do you guys use to seal the panels? Foams? I'm looking for a cheaper way...thinking to get b-quiet brown bag for the bottom & trunk of my car...

They're talking about using "peel & seal", it's a roofing compound, that you can get from Home Depot, Lowes, or really any fix-it store. It's cheap and works well. The BrownBread that you're talking about is good stuff too. Much better than regular Dynamat and a lot cheaper too.
Other materials that you can use are: various soft foams (i.e. carpet padding, memory foam, "egg-crate" foam, etc.), expanding foam (another Home Depot item, used in sealing windows i think.),
There's a company called Cascade that makes a sound deadening paste. You basically "paint" this stuff on all of your exterior facing panels and it dries like cement. Downside to that stuff is that it weighs a ton, and if you ever want to remove it you'll need an angle-grinder. I used about 4 gal. of this stuff in my hatch, and it's now a tank. I think i may be bullet proof now too...
The best results, IMO, come from using several different mediums of sound deadening. Use a "mat style", or some other surface building technique, then go back and pile the foam on top of that.

The </TD></TR></TABLE>does the weight make a big enough difference in acceleration? ive always wanted to do this...
do you think putty, or filler would work? mnaybe even urethane sealant like we use ine engine mounts? do you think these would work?

The weight difference isn't too noticeable(sp?). I used about 4 gallons of VB-1 (the Cascade stuff) out of a 60 lb., 5 gallon bucket.
One of the best gains IMO, is ride quality. My car is lowered about 2", and the ride quality was decent. Now that i have all the sound deadening done it feels like a new car. I don't "hear" all the bumps in the road anymore, so it feels a lot smoother.
As far as using putty or urethane, i'm not sure. The VB-1 is a pretty specialized product. It dries to an almost concrete like state, but with a little "give" to it so it will flex slightly with the car. I dunno if putty would work in the same environment. You might give it a try, someone's always gotta to be the guinea pig.

It won't slow you down as much as 100 pounds worth of sub box
