Tesla Door Seals - Half the Noise for $30!

[@barrykinsey8709]

The A pillar is the forward part of the car door and windshield. The B pillar is where the front and back doors meet the C pillar is the back of the back doors and back window shield and the D pillar are only found on SUVs. If the top of your seals have a opening where water can get in you need to cut a hole at the bottom of the seal so water can drain out.

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

Thanks for breaking that down! That’s really helpful info. I wish I knew that before… I suffer from not knowing and not caring enough to Google it… 😬 If I ever get new seals, I’m definitely keeping this comment in mind. Appreciate you sharing this!

[@beforebefore]

Someone beat me to it... cane here to explain the "ABC""s of car structure pillars... increment front to back.

[@seccat]

Could have googled it 🤦‍♂️

[@reviewswithdouglas]

@@beforebefore agreed, I was gonna tell hime the same thing

[@Jbiglin]

Same

First time viewer. Just wanted to say you are very good at this. Helpful, honest, with a nice calming effect. No upselling here. You are a natural my friend.

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your thoughts!

[@MrDdmccormack]

This is a real review...which i appreciate, since all of us are just like you feeling our way along...good job

[@harriettanthony7352]

For more sound reduction, get the seals that fit in the grooves on the roof and glass junctions. The 'glue' used on the rubber is the same product I have seen used on ALL aftermarket Tesla items. I had them, for example, on some center console covers. The red tape can be a REAL faff to get off! I am tempted to use an automotive glue on the un stick parts

[@fred1barb]

Good video. However there are some technical issues concerning how sound is perceived and measured. You said that the cabin noise was half as loud, which is subjective. The dB scale is a log scale. A sound that is half as loud would measure 3dB lower; 3dB represents a 50% reduction in power. So -3db is a reduction to half power. But doubling the perceived sound level requires a 10dB increase. Your observation of about a 10dB change while taking the measurement is too large for a meaningful measurement and comparison. When you measure the noise you should do it on the same road at the same speed and in a similar amount of traffic. Most sound level apps and meter will have an Leq setting which gives you an average level over the measurement period. If you see a 3dB reduction when you compare the average Leq number you have a worthwhile result. A one dB reduction might be discernable to some people but it will not seem like much of a result. I suspect that what you have is more a case of new is better or wishful results. I could be wrong. If you know someone with the same year and model it might make an interesting comparison.

[@alliao82]

the cooler air in the evening helps dampening noise a bit too, but frequency wise definitely sounds less annoying I'm tempted now lol

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

That’s interesting, I didn’t know cooler air could help with noise dampening too. Let me know if you end up getting the seals. I’d love to hear what you think of them!

[@justnerp]

can you make an update on how it lasts and if it peels overtime

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

Absolutely, I’ve been worried about that myself. I’ll see how it does during this winter when it gets below zero.

[@Tonesosa]

Did this on my model x and there was a noticeable difference. I did have some unsticking. I simply added some gorilla brand double sided tape, no issues since

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

That’s something to consider. How long have you had the seals on your Model X?

[@Tonesosa]

@@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus a little over a month

[@jacobheinz8236]

I would not seal those ’holes’ or whatever the correct description should be spaced out along the doors . The simple reason is water which will get inside the doors need a way to drain out otherwise rusts will result starting from the inside of the doors. If you’ve driven old cars you will know what I mean.

[@juiceda6]

I did this to my model x and it made a difference. I custom made mine

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

I didn’t know that was an option. What did you use?

[@zeehond1960]

Nice job,I really think Tesla should do this standard !

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

Same!

[@krunoslavbenko690]

They did on new model...

[@christiankaiser6562]

It is crucial to clean the surfaces thoroughly from grease and dirt! Acetone, Alcohol, ...

[@reviewswithdouglas]

Acetone would damage the paint. Alcohol wipes are prefered

[@christiankaiser6562]

Thank you for this. Good to know.

[@bnight.7996]

It’s typically isopropyl alcohol or methanol.

[@alex92620]

What is that cool knives called?

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

Rush deer knife. Best knife I’ve ever used: amzn.to/3OMCIwq

[@irdvo4012]

Good job. Relevant……should help a lot of people

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

Thank you! I’m really glad you found it helpful. I hope it helps a lot of people too!

[@MrPhil1st]

Hope you didn't get late for work 😂. I might do this install. Wonder if there's a version for model Y :)

[@tylerwright6380]

What year is your Model 3?

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

2021

[@sweezypzb]

Is it harder for you to close your doors? I noticed I have to sorta slam mine close.

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

I haven’t noticed that with mine, and I’ve had them on for almost a month now. It’s possible the new seals might be overlapping, making them slightly thicker. I’d also recommend checking the placement to ensure they’re not interfering with any moving parts. Hope that helps!

[@sweezypzb]

@ that’s surprising given other KZbinrs have also noted that the doors need to be closed harder after installing

[@jlam9234]

How you get black seats with the white trim package?

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

Seat covers. I made a video about it. One of the first ones I uploaded.

[@dantmanish]

@@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus Hi, I have the white interior too but cant find your video about the seatcovers ,, I was thinking of getting seatcovers to protect the seats abd the black ones you use look good with the white interior

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

Here’s the link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHLSgqODedKBnsk. Let me know if you have any questions or if you decide to get them!

[@7475thomas]

Sir....... You indicated 70 to 80 decibels on the initial drive. On the drive after installing, you looked at the decibels and decided not to tell us the number and just told us it said "quiet street" then mentioned that you didn't regret buying. This leads me to believe there was no significant change. We know Teslas are known for road noise. My impression: You don't want to make Tesla look bad with the road noise issue. You shot this content and don't want to waste it. So you'll try to make it look as good as possible without saying to potential customers "there's no significant change to the noise and theres nothing you can do about it".

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

Thanks for your feedback! I actually showed both decibel readings on screen so viewers could draw their own conclusions. The noise level went down by 3 decibels, which isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s definitely not nothing. I personally found the change noticeable and worthwhile for the price. I’ll keep your feedback in mind for future videos to make sure I’m as clear and thorough as possible. Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!

[@darylfortney8081]

Should come standard on all Tesla’s

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

I’ve heard the 2024 models have made big improvements with sound deadening compared to mine. I also recently realized my larger tires are contributing to more road noise, so that might be my next upgrade. It’s all part of my mission for a quieter drive. If only new tires weren’t so expensive!

[@james21ap1]

Model 3 and Y are more noisy than S or X.

[@james21ap1]

​@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus Still noisy for an expensive car. My 1999 BMW 528i is still more quiet.

[@darrylnix2582]

I saw no difference on my 2018 model 3, I wouldn’t put them on my 24 MY. Everyone hears what they want. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

Thanks for sharing your experience! I’m always looking for ways to make my Tesla as quiet as possible. Do you have any recommendations for other products or mods that could help improve the drive’s noise level?

[@joemichele5412]

The new 2024 M3 doesn't need that .....my M3 is factory quiet & silky smooth ...Quieter than any Rolls Royce that i have ever driven ......

[@ThroughTheEyesOfJesus]

I know!!!!! I can’t wait to get a used one in the next few years. I’m trying to make my current m3 as quiet as possible!

[@The00Dude]

A testament to the Chitty cars made by Ego Elon

[@jamesgarrison7397]

They are pretty quiet without the sound deadening stuff, if you did this to a BMW it would quiet it more also.
