Extra Door Seal/buffers

[Stampie66]

Hi all ,liking the though of a quiter closing doors . Door cards are removed and hoping to fit sound deadening to the outer skin of the doors. Found out the metal inner skin is a but more tricky to remove , looks like I will be drilling out revets to get in . Any one been mad enough to have done it ?

Did my doors a few months ago when I fitted speakers , a bit of a ball ache . Removed window mechanism but be careful when relocating the white plastic bracket which is riveted in on the top inside left of the door .

It does sound like a Golf, but much better

Mine have been on now for a good six months, and either I've got used to them or they have got a bit squashed, but when I close the doors they sound like a van again! I may apply some vaseline to pep them up a tad.

Looks better than a golf too

Just got around to fitting mine and they make a big difference to the sound - very cheap and cheerful but does the job. Not sure if everyone else has done similar but I wanted to keep in a single strip on each door so to let any water that will get in escape I have cut a couple of small holes in each along the bottom edge.

sorry.....but I don't like the way they pucker up on the curves. I fitted some smaller ones.......same ones I put on the T5. They go around curves a treat. I'm a bit ocd like that.

Fitted mine yesterday. Many thanks @Pauly for selling these and much else. To have my van doors sound like a posh car rather than just a cheap van is priceless. I actually open and shut then twice just to hear the "flump"sound (was more like a "crank" before). Lovely.

Oh and thanks for all the great pics of how they run round the doors, helped a great deal. I would probs have ended up with the rubber on the outside of the door and finishing off up the bonnet or something.

I have so got to but some and do this!

Can I ask, does the 5m that you order from the forum shop have to be cut in two or does it come already measured out in two sections?

 

[Buggirl]

Apologies for the delay the additional door seal is now available in the forum shop
It is listed in 5 metre lengths which is enough to do both front doors but if anyone requires a different amount if you want to do the slider as well etc let me know and we can arrange it

@Pauly just seen this comment. If I order it from the forum shop, would you be able to cut it to size in two half for me? I.e., the correct size for both doors in two sections? I just worry I would cut too short one side or something! Also how much for slider too? Thanks and know I am a pain!

This is what's great about this forum, a bit of research before you buy gets you extra door seals on your build that i doubt any body would have looked at in the extras catalogue and at £25 its a bargain.
Then the same thing available on here to retrofit and cheap. The best mod you will do for the money either way

Needs cutting but it's easy

 

[Pauly]

It's one piece 5 metres long but cuts easy with a knife or sharp scissors, there is no set way of doing it some people do it in one piece others cut it and have one vertical/one horizontal to allow any water build up to drain out

Had a good day in the sun today . Took advantage of the weather and fitted the door seals purchased for the forum.
I was so pleased with the result I a bit excited and wondered whats next? Any guesses?

Got to be the front end . Not finished yet.
