Removing door panels, how hard is it? Options

[saleeka]

I'd lake to put dynamat on the insides of my doors and behind the plastic that covers the speakers in the back seats, but how hard is it to remove the door panneling and rear seat pannels? Anybody done this before, like how long it takes?

First off, Coomer already told you where the door panel screws are but here's a nice photo to illustrate (thanks to aaronc222) http://www.6gc.net/photo.php?file=/images/...photos/66_1.jpg

Secondly, if you have a hatchback the rear seats are easy to take out. ( I don't know if coupes are any different ) There are just 2 bolts - one on each side of the upright part of the seat near where the top half meets the bottom half. The remaining bench part of the seat is held in with 2 clips at the front of the bench.

As for your question about what to Dynamat, I would Dynamat where you hear obvious rattles first. As to whether or not you should Dynamat the plastic panles, I would only do so if there is severe rattling. Since plastic is softer than metal, sound deadening the metal parts first will yield greater results. Again, address your known noise issues first but for overall sound deadening in you car it's best to apply to all metal parts.
