Plastic behind Door Trims

Hey Guys,

Looking to buy some plastic sheet to go behind door trims, anyone recommend a supplier. I used some from Spotlight for my EH Holden years ago, but that stuff was a bit to thick.

    Hey Weiry, I used the big, thicker, black garbage bag and a small amount of sicaflex. I stuck it to the door then trimmed it to size. It worked rather well but i have had to take the door trims of again since so i'll have to make some more. Was rather easy to do and the clips pushed through quite easy. May be a bit thin for your liking but just puting it out there.
    Cheers Richo

    To seal for dust & water
    Drain holes in doors are outside door/body seals. Also some water can get past window seals
