Hello all,
I'm planning on installing some R-Blox (similar to FatMat) on the doors of my 2010 Ram when I upgrade the speakers. For those that have done this already, here are some of my random crazy thoughts...

1. If I put in on the inside of the door skin, will it retain moisture and cause the door to rust out from the inside (not covered by warranty)?
2. If I put it on the inside of the black plastic insert (inside the door), how will I get my hands around to effectively apply it?
3. If I put it on the compartment side of the black plastic insert (under the interior door panel), will it stick to anything and how will the dealer get into the door if a problem develops down the road?

Thanks for any thoughts you may have on this!

Joe

 

I have done this on my truck, if you search posts started by me I did a write up on it.

1. I have never heard of this happening, but just by handling the mat I don't see it retaining water. Its like tar and alum foil.

2. Good luck! You will tear your hands up, its uncomfortable and can be very frustrating.

3. I would not do this. I don't think its a flat smooth surface anyway and that is what you want. It will stick to anything though! Like I said it is like TAR.

That said its very worth it, I have it on my door panels, under the rear seat, and on the rear firewall. Not only does it help with vibrations it keeps the cab more quiet.

 

i'd love to do this but the work involved is just not worth it to me .. if i had a buddy who did it once before on the same model truck, i would invest the time to do it . but to do it myself would require to much work on my part .. at least on the firewall and under the seats all around.
Maybe i'll do the doors one day. Do you guys think the doors alone is worth doing it ? Or does it have to be the whole truck to really notice ?

 

you'll notice a difference if just the doors are done

 

Thanks for the input! When it gets a bit warmer here in FL, maybe I'll just do the inside of the outer door skin. Not sure I want to cut up my hands or become angry, so that seems like the best bet...
