Kurty Supercharged December 31, 2010 Share December 31, 2010 works meh? i thought all cars should come with such door sealing strip... why is there a need for this? unless you lowered the windows, otherwise you would hear any wind noise... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG_Myvi 1st Gear December 31, 2010 Share December 31, 2010 I done up mine....but price on the high side as I got the materials from Autobacs. It's from Japan. Maybe you guys can take a look at their website. http://www.amon.co.jp/seihi/seihi_group.php?id=313 I used item no. 2649 and 2652. End result not bad...the rubber qualities are so far the best. Using real 3M tape. I used many types in the past from hardware shops and etc....but it was real hell for me....those cheapo products failed me. Till I gave up and stop believing on cheap rubbers seals. I rather spend more for quality rather then so much hassle of installing and removing...most importantly.. waste my money.

Kurty Supercharged December 31, 2010 Share December 31, 2010 The noise when an SBS bus stops besides me..... oh YES! i did spot this, i still thought my windows were open.. so this is the part that kicks in.

Alim 1st Gear December 31, 2010 Share December 31, 2010 No need, buy from aquarium the air pump tube, stuff it in the existing windows seal, noise will be gone. Need about 6ft per door and scissors to cut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need about 6ft per door and scissors to cut. Tried that before on my old toyota many years back.....guess what...it will melt inside after a period of time. Unless using silicone tube.

MG_Myvi 1st Gear December 31, 2010 Share December 31, 2010 Can I know what is the diameter to use.... Depends on the space the door seal can allow you to push the tube in. Not an easy job. Outer Diameter 3mm onwards..... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
