thats the purpose... tight mean sealed nicely with no incoming wind and out going wind. thats why i asked u to use only big D... especially preve gap are huge. so those tight feeling is like u opening a conti car's door.

cannot test the cabin noise from cars or motor, that time ady 11pm++...less car ady...can feel and hear that tyre sound reduce abit only...

want to do soundproof for tyre also...

yes.. thats what i wanan do next.. sound proof tyre and engine.. if can reduce 20% cukup dah.

Has anyone tried installing the rubber like this?

nope~ i dun think it's needed. It's redundancy already..
DIY very subjective.. make sure the gap is seal.. then is ok d.. wind noise produced when a strong wind blow through a small gap..

just my 2cents

Like this then ..




I noticed Preve comes originally with such a lip at the top of the door, presumably to seal off the gap/longkang between door and frame. Should be these little gaps that produce a whistling sound at high speeds. The air shouldn't be coming into the car but being located that near, the high pitch whistle seeps into the cabin.

is it the hole to allow water to go out?

arent those small holes are for water to run through?
under preve front doors, bottom side, got 4 such holes...end up i need to cut small2 the rubber to fit the holes...

EA has this service, price around 700++. was told is the best material in the market.

Yeah, I see some pics with rubber covering those holes. Don't think it's a good idea to have your own private aquarium in the door.

yaya.. like this.. the hole should be let water to go through... it's impossible to fully eliminate the windnoise.. just can reduce only...

yes.. please dont cover those hole.. later banjir inside..

i know.. i am thinking to do it less than RM200. but dont expect its gonna be as good as EA.. coz i am not a professional who do this for living.. understand?

can eliminate... but u have to understand how those wind come from where and end where.

thats why don't overstick, must leave some gap. its good to have some noise to alert you

Now in Kuching town. Since this morning till now cannot see even 1 preve on the road. Only can see proton platinum showroom here. Flying back tonight.

lucky didnt but this car if not i will be one of the victim too

Still having so many problems on preve. Hopefully nothing when mines come. lol

u should seal it, then ur door will be an aquarium.hahahahahaha

finally complete family united.

hopefully proton manage to resolve the probs asap. Iinm, customer is always the king been stressed out all across prtn sales n after sales, being trained to respond appropriately, still some dont follow... Haishhh...it doesnt matter its customer's fault, but the of handling the matter is the most important part. Hopefully all the auditing by drb could resolve all this.

Yup, i know some intentions to support proton, but please show that proton user@lover also matured in handling things. So, chill down.
I know many wants prtn to be perfect n the old n new mgt also want that n i believe even drb r trying their best. It just the restructuring took long time to be completed. Hopefully they end it soon, so that all operation can be run smoothly.

N my wish that by being privatised under drb, prtn is given freedom or a bit of room to choose its vendors n doesnt strict to the local(malaysia) contents policy coz thats been a burden for long time coz not many foreign co want to open subs in malaysia, so choices are limited. The only thing i know the previous one try really hard to ensure this n hopefully the current also follow suits.

My pray that everybody here is well n also the car n problems will be sorted out soon.

About the imm, i think its due to integration of bcm. Nearly everything is interconnect. Sometimes, higher tech has weakness. Remember case on new benz where even changing a simple light bulb need nearly an hour to run the diagnostic before the light can be fully functional, due to the high tech equip, compare to conventional sytem just a simple change light bulb. I dont compare superior benz with inferior prtn coz its out of context, just want to explain high tech is good, but still has its weakness.

Salam ramadhan.
