Front doors sound deadening

[DT36]

Has anyone had any experience with a T6.1?

T6,1 is way easy than a T5.
I used 2mm Silent coat on door skin. Plenty of room with panel unscrewed.
Then done 2mm silent coat on inner door panel.
Put new clips on some of outer panel, then put more 2mm silent coat on the inside.
Very easy job to do and not beyond anyone in my opinion. Tools used were Torx set, 10mm spanner and plastic trim puller.
I did not upgrade the speakers at this time and personally I don't think they need doing now as the sound is much crisper by just doing the doors. Might put some white pvc fleece in the A panel trim to reduce vibration there.
Also did all the uderbonnet and engine bay scuttle earlier. Used about 25 sheets of silent coat in this area. Did need a Puller though for windscreen wiper removal. Copper slipped the spines on refit. Defiantly made a difference in reducing engine noise in the cab.
Footwell and front wheel arches next when I get some more silent coat in. I'm thinking about another 50 sheets should do it.

Just a quick one on the bonnet area, is it a simple as removing the black foam piece and fitting the 2mm sheets? Cheers

Yes, gently pull on the clips and they will pop out. Can be re-used.
I then added the sheets under this area and clipped the foam back on when finished.
Bonnet doesn't have that tinny hollow sound now, similar to when people demonstrate that their door skins have been done.

Scuttle panel area is a bit more involved if you decide to do that, but again fairly easy to do. Hardest part for me was removing the wiper blades. After that it's straightforward. You don't need to disconnect or remove anything under the plastic scuttle trim.
My wipers were very tight, so used a Puller to remove them, so not to cause any pry marks.
When I put it all back together, I put a slight coat of copper slip on the spindle spines.

I did both these jobs at the same time, so can't say which made the biggest improvement. However, there is a lot less engine noise in the cab now. Obviously, you can still hear it, but it's more muffled and less agricultural now.

Thank you. Yeah seen lots of comments about how doing the scuttle area makes a massive difference.
