one door initially did, but since the new seals are compressible, it evened out over a few days. all my doors close with the same average/normal force applied.
the L points inward, under the seal. I basically tried to orient it so it would wedge itself as much as possible without needing to use the adhesive back
regarding general placement, i agree with you the tolerances are not uniform in areas and how the seal is placed can make a difference.

Totally agree with you madgrey, but I'm happy to contribute to the community. Doesn't hurt to have more data, in case someone's Rivian is way louder than mine.
Here are the dB readings from my apple watch (series 7). I did both my Rivian and the BMW X5 45e hybrid (in electric only mode). AC...
I can use the db meter on my apple watch later.
one thing to note is the type of noise also affects our comfort. like you mentioned, your lexus may have the same db, but a smooth engine drone or constant road noise will be "nicer" than the a buffeting (like some one blowing into your ear...
1. you dont need to purchase any adhesive. the L shaped rubber seal comes with an adhesive back already. What I meant is you dont even need to use all of that, because a lot of times you can just wedge the L shaped seal in. I only peeled off and exposed the adhesive at the end of the strip to...
I have the new in-house speaker system, for better or worse. My setting is with dynamic volume set to low, as that sounds best to me. With it off, I do have to use 15-20 even at low speeds.
Previously, with dynamic volume set too, I needed at least 14-16 to cover the wind noise at even 70mph...
Hi guys, I've been reading these forums for advice and tips on troubleshooting wind noise, and I have come up with a DIY fix that works really well!
First off, I would like to thank Hamdan's post for getting me started...
