I replaced my speakers with a pair of Kenwoods that sound really good. But in order to get them to sound so good, I cut out the plastic basket that sits behind the speaker with a jigsaw. Massive sound improvement and general de-honking - but - that basket served the purpose of deflecting water that ran down inside the door from the back of the speaker - kind of like an awning. With it gone, I get water leaking in through the speaker hole in the door (when it rains).
I made a replacement "awning" out of heavy tarp plastic gusseted with duct tape. The flexible plastic prevents the honking, crappy speaker sound of before, but the duct tape isn't holding up very well. It seems to dry out, stiffen and lose its stickiness. And then leak again.
Any recommendations for a more flexible tape with good stick/hold? Or a better way to weather-shield the speaker holes?
