Plastic sheeting on doors?

Just removed my door cards to trim them for a better fit arund the cage.
There is a plastic film on the door sealed on by that horrible black stuff that doesn't 'go off' and ,makes a mess.
Whats the plastic for? dust? damp? was going to just get rid of it before I put trim back on.

cheers
Dill

On skylines it's a white goo - I reckon it's some kind of waterproofing, rattle deadining affair.

If your car is going to see daily work, I would leave it in place Phil. It is a pain in the arse but damned handy in the long run.

Not exactly going to save much weight now, are we?

Leave it mate, protects the door card from moisture. Renaults and rovers are the worst for sticky stuff! We get a serious telling off if we damage these at work.
