    Step 6: Door Cards.

    So I had to change a door Latch out and when I got the door card off I noticed a couple of interesting things:
    1. The Door Card was mouldy and rotten.
    2. The vapour barrier has at some point in the past been cut away.

    Both sides same story... This explains a bunch of things: Why me and mate both had headaches and sinus congested after working on the upholstery, why there's a patina of rust on all the unpainted steel in the cab, and why so many of the electrical contacts in the cab are a bit crappy.

    So I ordered new ABS plastic door cards online along with new vapour barrier and thought I might as well do some sound deadening and insulation in there too. Also bought a tin of vinyl spraypaint to resurface the door pockets.
    Re-did the butyl rubber for the barrier as most of it has been pulled away and is... Where ever most of the old barrier is, I assume.
