Now that I have you guys attention, is there any one in here smart enough to create a door Dampener to keep everyone from slamming my doors? Or any other ideas?

Thanks!!!, And not sorry for the click bait. ??

Does not take much force to slam the doors on my Ranger, it is almost like some unknown force is sucking them in.

Talk about a disappointment! I thought we had another wimp to add to the tailgate club. ?:LOL:
Oh, don't get me wrong. I have one and love it. But with all the controversy here over it I couldn't resist using the title. I don't mind being in this wimpy club. :rockon:

Me neither. I was one of the first ones to buy one once they came out last fall! :bandit:

I put dynamat in my doors. They still get slammed by everyone who rides with me but the "thud" is a much more pleasing tone now.

Without derailing the thread, did you notice a difference in road noise levels with the dynamat?

I’ll gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today.
I’m only here to see what the dynamat answers are.

I have started opening/closing the door for my wife because she'll either close it too softly causing it to not latch properly, or she'll slam it so hard I swear she's trying to shatter the window...

I need to do this... The doors shut with a weak tinny sound that just doesn't sound right for a truck. if it were a Fiesta or mid 90's Civic sure, but not what a 40K truck should sound like.
