Review time: Door frame rubber insulation replacement.

Left: Stock. Right: Replacement




Closed up view:


Summary:
Brought 2 meters to test this item. Replaced the driver's door. Initial impression, close door sound more solid and better than stock (closing the door from outside and from inside) cuz got 2 layers of insulation already . However, still cannot match Myvi close door sound. Maybe with soundproofing the door panel will give a more positive result. The thing that lead me to get this rubber is support strip at the middle of the 'D' area. I hope this feature can help to prolong the lifespan of the 'D' area from fast being kemek.

The door rubber dimension matches the stock rubber and it fits perfectly. Refer to the 3rd photo above.

Went out for a drive to have breakfast. Focusing on the sound from front door, noises from outside still penetrate thru especially when motorcyclist pass by. Again, the noise penetration could be from door panel area and driver side rear door. Btw, this door rubber does not cover the whole door frame. It covers the area where the stock rubber covers.

Will be ordering soon for the rest of the 3 doors. Hopefully after replacing the rest of the 3 doors, it gives a more satisfactory result. Whoever is interested and wants to tumpang purchase, please PM me directly.

Now you can troll other saga owners like David does

Btw nice to meet you the other nite

dares

That night you came with kenjilew or you came out from kenjilew gaga? I remember kenjilew when YAB intro him as "gorilla" but couldn't hear when he intro you.

i notice the motorcycle sound intrudes from under the door (The one pointed with two arrows).

Coz when I put the big P at the bottom of my door, the sound is minimized. However, it keep on tertanggal so I got fed up and rip them all out. Now motorbike sound will intrude into my cabin from the gap. No time to fix.

he come out from my gaga...

ic. I kept on wondering what's the guy name that came out from your car when I left that place.

because dares say gaga the crap car air cond more cold than fofi one...

How much is 1 meter and
what is the length for one door.

If I'm not mistaken, davidke20 also using this one but for the front door, only the top part can be done and the lower half cant...

How marj ur price? Ayam gonna order another set soon Can bulk together mou?

Left, right, front, back all also half door oni coz the lower part of the door trim are folded with plastic covers. Unless you go buy big D stick on. This 1 OEM will looked exactly like installed from factory fresh, can only use to troll other GaGa owner during car wash, get down the car purposely squeeze the rubber infront of other GaGa owner, sure you get to see them immediately jump in the car make phone calls and rage geh

any pic? i just silent reader only

Further explained why does OEM door rubber does not improve sound insulation much, majority of the sound are penetrated through the thin window glass. That say, its the vibration on the glass that causes the resonating INSIDE the cabin. Get a thicker layer of tinting film will also helped on reducing road noise from the outside. Basically, the door itself already have a small D skirting around the trims, therefore adding another D on the door rim doesn't affect much, but an extra buffer to prevent the door slam too hard nia.

Here it looks perfect


From the front door rim view, it only stopped here. Therefore, the rest of the unsealed area is where the noise penetrate through


View from the back door rim, just like v12kompressor suggested, it's from the door not from the rim
