GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I always heard a little noise coming from my B pillar, it maybe that my window seals are bad, Ive seen many vibes/matrix with that molding around the window to be kinked. Anyways, I used door / hatch rubber (have no idea what they are called) seals and added them to the B pillar. I think pictures will be better at describing this.results : I really like it, makes closing doors sounds more of a THUMP, have CLD/MLV in the doors so it was already solid but these even made that better. After driving 1000miles Chicago-Denver couple of days ago, alot of it in heavy rain, the door jam is still VERY CLEAN and yes I feel like it reduced the wind noise too. the lower seal, I feel like I can trim the tip as there is no need for it to be that long, but right now the tip of the seal touches the front door and perhaps it helps in sound proofing there too.. (im sure very minimal)

the seal it self , right now it is just hot glued. I want to remove the black ugly sticker underneath before I mount the seal. Always hated stickers on cars..

This seal is U shaped and wedges very tightly into our door skin lip. Like it was made for it. I cant get the seal to go all the way to the top of the skin, nor all the way to the bottom. But, majority is better than non. The reduction in dust/dirt collection is significant!

Where did you purchase your seals?

Had them in my garage, Im sure you can just stop by a junk yard and pick them up.
