no I don't. But it is as simple as it sounds.

although it is quite a ghetto alternative to real auto sound deadening techniques.

I saw a product on ebay called fat mat which is essentially dynamat but ALOT cheaper. Look it up. If you go that route you would apply it to the metal on the doors and the back side of the door panels. As well as put some inside the door behind the speaker where the window mechanism is and stuff.

And also this would save you from the hassle of the new door clips because there would not be added stress on the clips. I was in need of better clips because the pressure of big ass fluffy insulation made the clips pop out every time I shut the door.

A great thing you will notice from either methods on top of reducing vibration is your doors will feel nice and heavy and will have a better thud when they close rather than a clink. Think of your BMW doors... well almost that good.

Yea sure come for a visit!

i use a chapstick inside and works great.

if you are looking for a short term solution, just jam a water bottle in the pocket as suggested prior. I thought I was the only one with ample water in my truck.

may I clarify?
perpendicular to the front/back
in other words. if your door pocket looks like this _____ length ways..
then put the chapstick in ..........................like this | ok?

or am I mistaken?
