DIY door lining to reduce wind noise: who's interested?

[corgan]

Sorry to kp abit. Ur friend civic FD is the cost for 2 doors or all 4 doors?

I believe Corgan cost of $15 only for 2 doors. Correct me if I am wrong. The few designs I saw fr Homefix are from 3M and each about 2m (depend on width and shape) cost about $10. Those small width type should be longer for same cost.  1 tube should be enough for 1 door. And if you got lobang for no brand but really big drums type, should be even cheaper.

I believe if you could get one type that is thin and narrow enough with the appropriate softness, it will be possible to reduce wind noise and yet not increase the difficulty in closing doors. That takes some effort though.

er. the material i'm using costs $10 for 4 doors 

[corgan]

anyway, the interest thread for the lining will be here for another week, will close it after nxt week so that I can get the materials from my friend. So if you're interested just put your name down. Even if after the interest thread closes getting the material should not be a problem if you're interested, just pm me will do i guess.

hi bros, i got a few concerns, would like to clarify

1) under sun and cool nights, will it cause the material to harden and turn brittle?

2) when want to remove, will the double sided tape cause any damage to the paint? (hopefully not, and i think the sticky remnants can also be removed with thinner or what's the other liquid ah?)

I believe these 2 points can only be told after some time right?

Those who want to try out should take note of the visor factor, and also whether they could accept the increased difficulty in closing the doors.

i totally agree with the visor factor. above 90kmh, can hear the "vacuum" wind sounds caused because of the visors.

1) so far had it for 3 weeks, no hardening yet. 

2) the double sided tape is the same as normal double sided tape. But so far no issues with it coming loose. Can be removed easily unlike 3M double sided tape. Hence I doubt your paint would be damaged in anyway.

From what I know, rubber have to be stored in air-conditioned and controlled humidity environment. So think most rubber would deteriorate over time no matter what... Think what we can do is buy more of it lo, when the rubber hardens over time, change a new one, just $10 only ma (about the cost of 2 car wash...).... 

[corgan]

thats the beauty of it.. $10 nia.  but one rav4 has been using it for close to 2 yrs.. still no problem.

Saw Corgan's car. Neatly fitted; so neat that I had to look harder to notice the extra lining. (Probably because of myself not paying attention to the stock condition all the while, or may be because it was night time when I saw it.) 

And I could somehow close the door comfortably. 

Like the rest of you guys, my concern is its durablily and also the physical damage. Anyway, from the threads, seem like it shall be fine fitting them on.

Kinda busy with work and abit reluctant to do anything to my car now. Will contact Bro Corgan once I am ready.

Bro Corgan you are indeed the DIY-Man!

Cheers,

KEL.
