Rust?

[the_lower_class_brat]

I just neatly glued polyfill to my door panels, not the metal but the
plastic. I immediately noticed atleast twice the ammount of bass then
before(played with balance on the polyfilled vs non polyfilled). Since
this is on the plastic based panel itself and not inside the door, what
do you think the chances are that the doors would rust out?

Unless there's a plastic barrier between your polyfill and the interior
of the door, I'd say
the chances are pretty good. You need to make sure that water *cannot*
come into
contact with that 'fill. Pretend your polyfill is a gremlin--don't feed
it after midnight and
never, ever get it wet.

Yea there is a plastic weather guard right there, so technically its
almost impossible for it to rust because its plastic to plastic.

The next time you have a heavy rain in your area, take your door apart
after the rain stops and see if your polyfill got wet. If you have a
good, heavy rain and your 'fill is still dry, then you can rest easy.

Actually, you don't have to wait for a good, heavy rain. Go get your
garden hose out and spray the door to death like and try to simulate a
hurricane. Make a lot of noise and throw stuff at your car, too, while
you're at it just to make the effect complete. I wouldn't go so far as
to throw a 2x4 through your window, though--that's pretty much
guaranteed to get your polyfill wet.

Luckily it rained that night and it didnt get wet even witht the fact
of me being an idiot and leaving the window cracked open all night. So
I'm pretty sure I'm safe.
