Randyretired Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Spray foam? Quote Randy 2001 Volvo VNL 42 Cummins ISX Autoshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will B. Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Yeah, I second the spray foam idea, but be sure to tape over the latching mechanisms! It doesn't have to be 100% perfect, I wouldn't think.

rpsinc Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 rigid insulation glued onto the back side of the door. Can be bought in various thicknesses at most home centers. Be sure to use the correct adhesive otherwise it wont stay on long. Quote Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have used some rigid pieces, cut to the approximate opening size, but they don't seem to work well. Have you done it Randy?

Randyretired Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 There are YouTube videos on how to spray foam. It sticks very well if the surface is clean. Cover what you don't want covered. It is permanent. Quote Randy 2001 Volvo VNL 42 Cummins ISX Autoshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Dreamer Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 You could try the adhesive automotive sound deadening material or the adhesive duct insulation but most are not very thick and don't really give you an idea on their R value. A lot depends on what you are trying to accomplish. With spray insulation you have to watch that you don't get it on the part that overlaps the other side panels, or on the hinges and latches. With foam board, if you get the right adhesive, you would be able to layer it over the latch area to get good coverage there.

lappir Posted December 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Thanks for all the information. The door latches are a pain and I'd like to think of a way to replace them with a slam latch or something simple to use. Have had to "Fix" these many times and never remember to complain enough about them when at the factory. (They seem to love them). I'll dig out the foam I cut and start using it again. Will be in SEMO a bit longer than I expected and I'm sure the temps will drop soon.
