db Defender™ - Door Panel Insulation
Sound deadening door panel insulation. Replace the factory plastic film behind your door panel with an improved version that not only protects from weather but also provides sound insulation.
- Twice the damping and less than half the weight of asphalt damping materials
- Heat moldable, giving a “dipped in plastic look”
- Paintable for the ultimate OEM look
- 0.045” thick Vinyl Vibration Damping Sheet

- Made in the USA
db Defender™ is a thin, lightweight, highly moldable sound deadening door panel material that consists of vinyl-based sheets designed to mold and conform to irregular surfaces to achieve 100 percent bond, maximizing damping performance. This insulation for car doors will stretch up to 40 percent to make an irregular surface appear as if it has been dipped in plastic. db Defender™ has twice the dampening and less than half the weight of asphalt dampening materials, and with the ability to handle continuous temperatures up to 250 degrees F.
db Shield Defender™ Insulation for Car Doors
db Shield Defender™ consists of a proprietary component blend in a lightweight vinyl carrier engineered to convert structural resonance (vibration) into low-level heat through friction. The friction is created from each proprietary component blend coming in contact with one another as the substrate (or panel) vibrates.
db Defender™ is ideally suited for replacing factory insulation in a car’s doors and is much more dense and rugged than the flimsy plastic or wax paper material provided by many O.E.s. This makes db Shield Defender™ far more capable of blocking airborne sound that normally enters the vehicle via the doors. This sound deadening door panel material also blocks speaker backwave and prevents acoustical short circuits, improving audio system performance by eliminating the conversion of sound energy into vibration energy, giving your speakers a cleaner, crisper sound.
Q. How much db Shield do I need to do do my door panels?
A. One sheet of db Shield (P/N 040051) is enough to cover one set (2) door panels
Q. Can I paint the db Shield after it is installed?
A. Yes, just clean it after installing and use a pre paint cleaner, paint will have no trouble bonding to db Shield!
Q. How can I remove the db Shield?
A. To remove db Shield, grab that heat gun, start in one corner and slowly work your way out. A plastic scraper can help without damaging door panel. To remove and excess adhesive, use some good old WD-40!
