@numskull

don't ask too much!

1. VAG engineers have had unknown reasons to develop them

2. they fit in our Superb

3. why not

then comes immeasurable

4. dust protection

5. sound deadening

6. finished look

 

huge closing comfort improvement came from Electric Suction Door

Can I ask where you got them, Martini? And are they all the same?

Hi MartiniB, how did you install them? Do I need to remove the two black Torx screws on the side of the door to install these seals?

Finally I found some time to go through this ... you've done amazing stuff on your car, compliments!

I took also some notes on things to do sometime on mine as well, when time and commitments will allow.

 

I've done a few full-interior noise treatment/insulation stuff in the past, and it makes a difference, in various degrees.

I was curious as to why only the 'bitumen' parts for done without the soft closed cell part, but is interesting to see there is allowance to do that.

My last project of that (my P38 RR), once I added, the carpet was a terrible fit, very precise fit from factory with no room to add material.

Anyway, for now I will not be disassembling the car ... SWMBO would kill me, after all I promised this was would not be a "project" car 🤪

So things will have to be very much under the radar, a first for me.

 

Thanks for sharing and don't stop tinkering 😝

 

Question about the vacuum, do the kits adapt to the existing motors or do have to be replaced? I had no time yet to go through the ru links, was thinking to do this when I feel ready to go for it ... maybe sometime in the summer.

Hey M, wanna have a laugh?

The other day I went to a dealer to see a car and he noticed the Superb and wondered why it has no vacuum on the doors. So he proceeds to show me a Taycan he has for sale and says this is the only Porsche that comes without them, but he retrofitted and indeed he did. He offered me such service for ... I convert to euros ... 767 euros 🤪 😆
