Ok, thanks. I will check those.

Yep, got that memo too, prepared as best as I could, but thought the pole shift already happened when my bank balance went from 10 to .01 in a fortnight.

so anyway, i got both rear doors done now. hard to tell about the speakers, since the fronts are still stock. but i believe that butyl stuff does help. each panel i do it gets better.
...but i need to get the front doors quick lol, turns out that my problem speaker is the front passenger. its the one that's been making wierd noises.

Somebody posted this on another forum:

distilled water is extremely reactive with iron and aluminum since it's de-ionized. I use some kind of mountain spring water stuff from the grocery store, but not if it's distilled or de-ionized. fastest way to end up with a rusty mess.
Thoughts???

well, since all the minerals and such are removed from distilled water, that leaves a lot more room (chemically speaking) for oxygen to dissolve into the water itself. but if the distilled water is being used in a closed system like coolant, then i don't see it being a big deal. i wanna hear others thoughts too!

Bingo! Rob...

quick Google turns up:
Rusting (corrosion) is a redox reaction wherein the iron undergoes oxidation while oxygen reduces. A typical redox reaction will involve transfer of electrons,in this case, from iron to oxygen.

Distilled water can readily absorb oxygen from the atmosphere when compared to normal tap water (since tap water will already have dissolved impurities in it). This will as a result help in rusting.

So yes, rusting of iron can take place in distilled water, provided it is not a closed system.

Well since I don't know of anyone running pure distilled water in their cooling system to verify this (whereas I do know folks running 100% concentrated coolant) -- the point is kind of moot as that is one of the jobs of the coolant side of the mix does (prevent oxidation).

Tell ya' what: you win a gallon of Wally World's finest DW...

Since ferritic particles (iron) is involved with the dissolved oxygen in water, will the answer be inversed when the magnetic poles switch?
