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

[corgan]

You are absolutely right. 10 buck worth of tape can only do 4 doors mah, what to do. 

Anyway, a more detailed description of the closing door effect.

With the tape pasted onto the frame,
Front door - Hard to close, easier now after it becomes seasoned.
Rear door - A little harder to close than before only. Was quite surprise that it wasn't like the front door.

With tape pasted onto the door,
Front door - Much easier to close as compared to the above method. It also looks nicer as the tape is concealed with the original rubber. The vacuum effect is still there, but I dun have the chance to verify if this method is better that the former in terms of sound proofing.
Rear door - Same as front door.

personally, I prefer the second method. Cleaner and better looking. Based on what I see, if you have 10 more bucks to spare, it is possible to do both method on the same door.

good fr bro.    think when i redo my car i also gonna stick it onto the door itself to try le.

Recently noticed that my rear doors when opening got this 'muack muack' sound, sounds like rubbers rubbing against each other sound. Guess its the new door lining rubbing against the original lining. Think its because I did't stick the door lining properly. If the findings from the bros here is that its better to stick on the door itself, then maybe a buy one more roll and do it on the door and take out the one on the frame, $10 and 30min only ma... 

haha. anytime u wan bro, just leave me a msg, then maybe can have that delicious chao tao kuay again.

Hi Corgan, would you be able to install it for me?

[corgan]

Hi Corgan, would you be able to install it for me?

Hi bro. I believe its simple enough to DIY but i dun mind showing u how to do up one door pls contact me to arrange a place and time to meet.

[Latioblues]

Hi Corgan, would you be able to install it for me?

You should start charging them $1 for the installation. Consider that as a token of appreciation or just save up for your future experience.

Anyway, my experience is that if you intend to stick it on your door itself, try not to stretch it. The rubber strip is elastic but not the sticking tape behind. Part of my lining came off and I need to patch it up with the leftovers.

I am still waiting to do the wheel arc... when you free? can "experiment" again.
