Great mod for your Tesla Model 3

I was looking for quality door seals for my Tesla Model 3. My goal was to see if I could reduce the road noise a bit. (The roads here in Massachusetts are full of potholes and lots of other deformations, hence the noise gets louder.) I found them and decided to give it a try. I received them quickly (2 days with first class delivery) and noticed how well they were packaged. There was an outside pocket and inside were individual pockets for each piece. Each was tagged with where that part goes. I then watched an online installation video to familiarize myself with the installation process. The next step was to "prep" the car and give it a thorough cleaning. I first used a microfiber cloth to clean all the door jambs. I then used the alcohol wipes provided to finish it off. It took longer than I thought as my car got dirty from all the driving I did. Then the installation continued. What I really liked was how "sticky" and durable it once was. The front door took a little longer than the rear due to the presence of wire tracks and the A-pillar bypass. All in all about an hour or so. Ok big question, does it work? Does the noise level drop? Yes, my unscientific test, it works. I don't have to turn the radio up that loud to hear music. The street seems to be getting quieter. Now I have no way of measuring this, but for me it worked as expected. It's not an expensive mod, so if you want to do it too, I'd say go for it.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Minor issues
