Hey, everyone
I added dynamat xtreme to my driver door. I used it in a number of areas, including sections of the inside of the outer panel, the inner facing panel, and the inside of the door card. I would call my application targeted, so it was far from complete coverage. It was effective and improved the sound quality from the speaker, while removing the rattling of the door that I was experiencing.
An interesting side effect is that it apparently is shielding a sensor or antenna such that grabbing the door handle no longer unlocks the doors. Touching the door handle, however, does lock the doors. After which, I get a message the driver door is not locked, despite it definitely being locked. So, I assume I created a faraday cage with the metal liner of the dynamat blocking the signal to/from a sensor or antenna. To make sure I remove the appropriate piece(s), can anyone tell me where the sensors/antennas are located in the door and/or vehicle that I may have impacted? TIA
