no clue on the door locks, but the kickdown should occur at WOT (wide open throttle) if you have a th350 trans. as for the sound deadener, im sure someone will shoot this idea down claiming that it'll trap moisture, but i'd just use the rubberized undercoating. applied to a clean dry surface and don't block the door drain holes.
