For those asking about soundproofing, go to:

http://www.erols.com/achassel/rattles.html
note: "iceguard" is stiff and difficult to use. It has gravel on one side(like shingles already attached)

http://www.partsexpress.com has reasonably priced Dynamat.

Check your discount hardware stores for thin tar-based rubbery liners for the inner door surface like "Jiffy seal". Swab the metal 1st w/ alcohol and use a blow dryer to heat then press on. Use dynamat on the "punch panel" to seal in(out) any tar smell.
