Has anyone done this? What size tubing will i need? 3/8"? If you have done this mod, how long does it last? Does the tubing get smashed enuf over time that it stops benefiting ? FOr an extend cab truck, how much will i need?

LOL< No problem Jay!

For a crew cab, 60' should be plenty and u will have some left over. I think i will still buy 60' just in case for my Ext Cab. Im stopping by Lowes tonight i think while i am out and about.

This is what I got. The door rubber has 2 pieces of some kind of rubber in it. You will have to get that out before you can run the tubing through it.

Amazon.com: Grafco Pure Amber Latex Tubing, 1/4" I.D., 3/8" O.D., 1/16" Wall, 50 Ft. Reel: Health & Personal Care

It was 32.00 to the door

You pull it through the inside of the factory door seal. The factory seals are basically a piece of tubing thats shaped to seal the door. You're pulling a smaller tube through the larger factory one. Make sense?

I'm another one sick of the road noise, I never thought these door sealers would go bad so darn quick, man, I even applied door sealing treatments overs the years vigoriously. Subscibing again but not for the 200.00 stuff Layson mentioned lol, wow.
