Road and wind noise stopped !!!!!!!!!!!

[JohnBoyToo]

Yeah, the diesel makes noise, the A/C fighting the 100 degree weather is loud, but wanted to stop the road noise coming in around the door....

Saw SOMEWHERE someone suggested taking vinyl tubing and inserting it in the weather stripping around the doors...

10 minutes per door and it was DONE !!!

And it stopped it completely...

My only caveat is they suggested 3/8" tubing and it made my door closing a LITTLE too tight...
migt try 1/4" to start and see if that solves it first...

REAL easy to do...
home depot has the tubing...
get 20 foot lengths or MORE... took about 15 to 18 foot per door...
on the inside of the weather stripping are "weep holes"
I snipped one of them a little larger, squirted some soap and water mix down there
inserted one end and started pushing...
took a bit of squirts into other weep holes as it got around the 3 corners, but eventually stopped...
cut that off, went to the part where stopped and started another length !!!

Worked great !!!

(maybe one day I will do HER side - for now - mines quiet !!! :yes: :beer:

kudos to whomever's idea this was !!!

road noise? whats that? Is it louder than mud terrain tires, afe stage II turbo noise, or 4" exhuast? I was thinking of getting a train horn, maybe I could drown it out with that, if I ever hear it that is..
