DIY door lining to reduce wind noise: who's interested?
corgan:
nah. no such thing as pour cold water. You're free to give your views bro. At least I know where my friend gets them. :D Homefix?
As for the sound insulation of our latios, I have to admit the quality is a lot better when compared to other cars in the same class but wind noise is a bother to me. Was trying to find a way to reduce the wind noise and happened to chanced upon this DIY lining at another forum. For the price and effort, I believe its a good deal especially if you drive spiritedly and always go fast on expressways. :devil2: Hence I still stand by my pt that wind noise has been reduced 30-50% overall. Anyway, I'm going to YD today so that other bros and sis there can take a look at it and decide for themselves. Maybe can take them for testdrive also :D

Hi Jon
Way to go bro, I like your ideal of this DIY! :thumbsup:
Tonight I need to attend and help out a wake at AMK so might not able to drop by YD. That's why did not put my name in the newbie gathering. :crying:
If I can manage to squeezeeeee some time to drop by at YD, I'll definitely like to check out your door lining.
Cheers!

Hi, bro. I like ur reply. :thumbsup:
We need ppl with positive attitude. There is definitely no right or wrong opinion. What I did was only to highlight my reservations. We all appreciate ur effort in taking pictures and sharing ur enthusiasm. It is good that you are letting other ppl try out the improvement. 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.
You can definitely get the insulation tubes at Thomson Plaza Homefix store. But I suppose other DIY shop could have stock too. Take note there are those tubes with solid core, those without single hollow center, and those with double hollow center, and different thickess and width (much like aluminium window grill). The gap between the 2 insulation seals on our doors are a bit narrow, so must take care when buying. But safest is to get back the same design that you are using right now, as it is already available for 'audition'.
Cheers and enjoy ur DIY.
