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.

Alpha78:
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.
