Door moisture barrier replacement -- best way to attach?

posted by  someone claiming to be Hendo on  Tue Feb 23 15:34 CST 2016 [RELATED]

Anything wrong with using clear plastic packing tape to attach door moisture barriers?

I'm going to be opening up the doors on my '82 245 to lube the lock and window mechanisms, and will likely want to replace the moisture barriers.

The one door I've opened has what looks like brown kraft paper that was in bad shape and tore badly. I had expected plastic but the paper appeared to be the factory original as it had precisely-cut openings for the handles, etc.

I have some 6-mil plastic sheet (construction grade vapor barrier) that I'll cut to replace the paper.

I was going to use clear packing tape to attach it to the door frame -- unless somebody out there has a better way....
