For those who've taken their doors apart:

Can I get rid of this styrofoam thing?

The two tabs (circled in pink) are broken anyway, and I'd just as soon remove the piece entirely if it's not like a window guide or something useful.

if u take those off,,,ure door will sound hollow when u close it and will be louder...just like if u take off the black styrafoam ones....i took mines off when i redid my doors,and they sound alot ,,thinking of putting them back in....just expect ure doors to make a louder hollow sound when u close it....thats all

why would u want to do that?? styrofoam makes the door sound quieter justl ike the dynamat would. but the stryrofoam weighs much more less than dynamat.

weighs much more less

:shock: jeejee j/k i think it might have more to do with sound suppression than anything else ... double check also to make sure it doesn't act as a support for the door panel before you tear it off

That's why I wanted to know. I will be doing my entire doors, and it would be easier to cover that portion if I can safely remove the big foam bulge, rather than cutting the mat to fit around it.

The extra weight of an 8"x8" piece of mat isn't even a concern, I just didn't want it to be something important like a window stabilizer when the window rolls down.
