How to reduce and improve on the sound of the door slamming?

[Supra_Fanatics]

Hi guys, just need some advise.

Lately, I find it kinda unpleasant to my ears with the sound of my car door slamming. I was wondering what can be done to improve or reduced that kind of impact and sound on my car doors? Will it be costly? :hmmmm:

For example, for those who is driving or been on a Toyota Camry latest model before, when u close the door, u dun hear much of a "BANG" sound. I'm looking and just wondering if there are any ways to improve my car doors to be as silent as possible.

Even if I close my door softly, it still has the slamming door kind of sound if u get what I mean.

Please do advise Bros and friends of ZTH.

SF, maybe something lose at the door.....all the doors sound like this or just 1 particular door....

 

[arturo]

Ohhhhhhhhhh Danz...i get u now...the place where the door locks when u close door la...put tape at that [ thing la...

hmmm...tonite i go try. will jam boh the door if i put too much..wait really have to climb out of window then the joke's on me pulak...:hmmmm:

SF...yah yah...issit all doors or oni 1? the older the car gets, the more it sounds like empty tin milo drop on floor when close door 1 la...i think it's cos the rubber lining around the door not as supple as baby bumbum. everyday kena burn under the sun, soft soft oso become hard hard n kecut kecut la...my door rubber lining aredy like ah soh punya bumbum after so many years kena sun bake.

 

[DanzEterna]

yes arturo your rite...no need to put so much...u try abit 1st, if still not virgin u put summore.....

Arturo, TitanRev, Danz:
Ya, when the door shuts, it sounded like "Klong..." Sound like a Empty Thin when it is knocked on..

Using tape? Will try that Danz Bro, sounds like a good idea and also I think maybe the door frame rubbers all not so good adi like Arturo said...really dun like the sound of that...makes the car sound old :frown:

Will go back and check all doors if it sounded the same...I was inside the car when the door closed.

Mizunori:
Haha! Good idea but tried that but still the sound is kinda loud to me.

PocketRocket:
Wah...door slamming by my passengers I really shoot punya. Cuz dun need to slam so hard to close my car door ma...damage my door only...

 

[PocketRocket]

thats how i feel too bro, so from the beginning i got my car brand new i keep scolding whoever slams my door...6yrs later, my baby still shuts like new...all that nagging paid off... xD

 

[arturo]

SF...wanna try these?

or

forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1435678&hl=

the first 1 i saw selling at Daiso...rm5 but i dun think the adhesive will last. the D shaped rubber strip sounds promising...but hell expensive for something so simple...

I have no choice la bro...young teens always show temper...have 2 sisters at home...each time kena scolding will slam the car doors.

:arturo:
Thanks for the link bro...appreciate it.

 

[arturo]

SF...i agree with u...normally ownself wont slam door...when i bring my family in my car...they sure slam hard hard..but not cos angry...but habit. our family car is that '86 E28 mah...so the doors heavy and need a Malek Noor energy to close the doors...so when they sit my car leh...Malek Noor energy + EG doors = SLAM! whole car oso shake. watudu la...

 

[TitanRev]

SF, your sis slam your door....you slam them back la...Hahahahaha

 

[DanzEterna]

old ppl are like that even my parents...but wattudu...let it be lor...
cos during their days, the doors are heavy.....like the old volva 240GL 1984......
so as arturo said, need extra energy to close the door shut.

 

[arturo]

Danz....i tried yr method...bought a roll of electrical tape rm0.60 and started to tape the [ at the B pillar for drivers side...really got effect ler. now door when close it does sounds tighter! but tin milo still kena buang on floor la cos door rubber aredy hard hard. understandeable la...metal on my door oso like tin milo hahahha. later strike lottery baru go pasang dynamat la.

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

arturo: dynamat is it those door rubber? I think for 5 years car and sometimes under the sun, time to change liao gua...but I ask before from UMW is not cheap...one door the whole rubber cost RM200 - RM300+. One of my doors the rubber coming off adi...due to the heat I suppose...looks melted :frown:

Btw, I think shud sealed up all 4 doors la then masuk from window. Got pro and cons la

Cons are, if raining really cialat la....but if u pick up girls with mini skirts, got something to see when they get down from my car (Just a joke okay)

Danz:
Bro, if stick those tape, after some time, will the tape come off? then the whole U hinge thing will look ugly and sticky? Since is just a tape, with friction after a long period I think will peel off slowly then the gum all stick there. Is it?

TR:
Can't slam my sis la...adi 20 years old still whack meh...younger one also 16 adi...not a kid anymore...just lecture lo :top:
