thanks for your explanation in determing the effectiveness of the lining. I'm glad you liked ur hard rubber lining, it must have really worked well considering what u wrote in the earlier part of this thread suggesting the lining wouldnt improve the SP effect much. It just turns out that for me it didnt really worked out that well as i hoped. Regards.

attached a pic of the hard rubber lining i used just for those who are interested. $17 a roll. 4 doors would require about 5-6 rolls.


that would be the end of the discussion on the hard rubber lining. thanks.
First of all, I would not have commented if hard-rubber type lining has not been tainted. My FR now is that it works. I am not out to sabo ur lobang or whatever. I also appreciate ur effort in helping fellow lations.

Secondly I objected to ur cost quoting as above. It gave ppl an impression doing for a latio will cost $17x5-6 = $80 to 102.
Far from it. The hard-rubber lining I bought cost me only $12 and is enough to do for more than 2 cars (72fts or 21.6meters). (previously I quoted 21fts. My mistake. It should be 21meters). You might have got an expensive one but it does not mean that all are that expensive. Please go to bukit batok autobacs to confirm this pricing if you are interested.

I hope the mods will not delete this posting as I am just clarifying some mis-conception. I am not expecting this kind of reaction as I am just being helpful.  :zipped:

Are you sure you are talking about the same item as what bro corgan posted? Packaging and etc does it look the same as the one from autobacs?

I'm just wondering, during my postings, have i said anything about your lining or how effective or ineffective it is? Maybe you interpreted my personal experience as a general comment on your hard rubber lining, Having said so, i have edited my previous posting so that people would not get mixed up.

In the first place, I already pointed out in that its was my own personal experience with it and no way did i discourage anyone from using it.  I also quite clearly pointed out in my reply to you, what material i was using and how much it would have cost to do up all four doors. I even posted up a picture of it for reference. so the price i quoted was for THE lining i displayed in the picture, and not other stuff.

I'm definitely open to the idea of trying new stuff to improve our rides, but maybe the next time you try to put your point across, try a bit of tact. I guess thats all i have to say.


to mods: feel free to delete my posts if you feel they are not appropriate. Thanks.

Just tried out on my driver door, by putting the tape on the recommended position. The door can't be closed no matter how hard i slam. I need to slam with my hand on the handle. Material seems a bit too thick.

Now I put in another position, the door can be slammed close without forcing, ie, push the door hard and it will close tight, no need to use hand to follow through.

Have to hear the wind noise tomorrow, whether the way I stick the tape has any effect. Thanks Corgan for your group buy effort.

that jia lat ah  :D but give it a while.. will season out then shld be fine liao... one thing u can try is to close the door with the window down a little. It will help to reduce the force needed to close the door.  ;) cos the air inside can escape easier.

Yup. It's not so much of trapped air cannot come out that causes door closing to be difficult. When the door is slammed and the gap is about 10cm, the edge nearer the wheel arch would have been in contact with the tape, and there's a bouncing effect.

Now I'm wondering if I should break the double sided tape and stretch the material to make it thinner. That means I need to buy additional double sided tape to cover the gaps introduced by the stretch.

ic. i i get what u mean now. if the material hasnt set yet. can jus remove it slowly and stretch it again before applying it.

Tried stretching just now on the front passenger door. Didn't work well. Broke off a small piece, and the rest I broke the double sided tape. Some more it didn't stick too well.

Took a second look at the driver side door which I did last night, it managed to close easily after parking a full day under the sun at the office. Spots on the tape that were too cramped have moulded into shape. Decided not to redo the driver door after all, and wind noise is still reduced substantially.

For the rear doors, I stuck the tape right beside the inner rubber lining along the door frame, which helps the doors to close without very much increased effort. Hopefully tomorrow after baking the car under the sun, all 4 doors will be moulded correctly.

Thanks again Corgan for dropping by my office.  :thumbsup:

I currently do not have stock. But I remember bro Hellomen also needed 2 pieces. You might want to add your name below so once I can get enough orders I can get them for you guys.
