If not install properly water will slip thru the door top frame during those jet wash at petrol station. This happen to my old ride during few times of car wash i see water slip thru both of my rear door. After i remove no more this water slip problem. Guess my diy skill not gd enough tat why pls do be carefully during installing dont want any bro/sis ended like me. My friend from mazda2 club they using another type of material those hard material not the foam insulation type tat i use.
Price for this MO is very attractive :thumbsup: coz i spent more then $20 in this :crycry:.

thx for sharing ur experience bro. Anything that is not installed properly would have its problems. So my advice has always been to do it well instead of rushing it. ;)
i tried the hard material too. but found it too expensive and not cost efficient considering its effect. :(
just a disclaimer: the material i used is in no way related to best_ctz's lining

I want to disagree that the hard rubber type is not effective. No offence to anybody huh...
I got mine at autobacs, 21ft of 1cm width at $12. A good test of effectiveness is to check how the last door closes before and after the mod. The last door is always very difficult to close after the mod as if an invisible hand is stopping it. But if the window is wind down by a tiny gap, it will close with ease almost like before. This could be explained by air being trapped in the car and cannot escape when the door close and there is a compression of sort. So, it is not the rubber preventing the door from closing, but the air that is trapped in the cabin. The stock condition will allow air to escape through the gaps between the doors and frame, but not after the rubber lining is done.
Hope all understand my explanaton lah. All said, I think the hard rubber type should hv same effect as the lining promoted by Corgan. Maybe the durability will differ lah.
Cheers.

Everthing aside, i would appreciate if discussions can be kept strictly on my door lining on this thread. Everyone has their own view on the lining. Thanks.

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.
