The Cruiser store contacted me on instagram with the following information below regarding the seals, this makes sense now and I really appreciate them reaching out, legends. Gday Mate! Just wanted to reach out and say thank you for the feedback of our door seal kit. We were completely shocked to see the gap it left! Unfortunately, it seems toyota have changed the way all the plastic sits around the door frame on the new facelift as it is DEFINITELY not meant to look like that! In previous models, the vehicle just had a simple pinch weld (like our seals but without the bulb) so there was no gap or difference left as a result of installing our product. Unfortunately, we haven't had a chance to test it on a new model and wrongly assumed it would have been the same as years prior. We will be updating the website to reflect that this product is not suitable for the new 2024 facelift 70 series as the finished result is terrible! Ill follow this up with some pics of our 2023 which has the old style interior. We would like to go ahead and refund your order, can you tell us your name or order number? Cheers Brayden
I've got the new 78 and actually no wind noise through doors, the 78 and single cab are apparently same door. After watching this vid I pressure washed the seal and no water gets in so therefore no wind noise should get in either. Anyways the tyres probably make more noise. Cheers
Yeah I've never had a drama with door seals on Cruisers, I wanted to try it out because apparently you can minimise wind noise with these seals. Like I said in the vid, if what I'm led to believe is true adding these seals helps with noise. I don't really understand either because the seals don't let dust or water in 🤷♂️
Sorry for laughing but you were the face of underwhelment. Glad to see even guys with mechanical smarts can get suckered into buying useless crap. The is the answer to a problem that doesn't exist. I just went to the strongest commercial vehicle high pressure washer facility and got someone to spray my door edges while i sat inside...not a drop inside.
Surely there has to be a neater way hey Brother. That gap is rubbish. I reckon if rather the wind noise to be honest. Thanks heaps for sharing this. I nearly pulled the trigger on buying these a couple of weeks ago Look forward to seeing what you do. If I find something I’ll let you know Cheers Brother 🤙
Yeah mate, It won't be staying like this, there's no way. I'll come up with something. I'd rather keep the factory seal and add something neat. Yeah cheers mate, there's a better way for sure.
Very strange. I just looked at me dual cab and factory its just a U shape and not the same as your factory one how the have that flappy bit that goes inward to caver that gap. So i wouldn’t have that gap with a dual cab. Good review, tho.
Yeah, single cab received updates in 2016, one of which was curtain airbags. All other variants didn't get the updates. I reached out to the mob I bought the seals from and let them know about the differences. I've gone back to the factory seals. Aftermarket seals don't actually make a difference to cab noise I soon realised after making this video.
You are the only RU-vidrs with new V8. I would not worry. But just know. If you need to know any further details Im always in your comments etc. But im trying to avoid people like yourself of not being able to identify an issue. If it was not for my bros LC79 i would have ignored it.
A bead of silicone might work. Yeah I don’t like that gap…cos you’d think the manufacturers would make it so it covers correctly, is it maybe a small change from the older 70s?
I'm going to chuck the factory seal back on I think, and try to come up with something to help seal it better. You could definitely run a bead of silicon, I want to come up with something more permanent and neat.
Such a great wealth of information. Wish I'd had that in 2019. I invested in the safari armax package and i recommend that unless one is towing all the time, better $ spent on rear axle width correction for handling. Looking forward to seeing how your 79 works for you.
I was eventually getting around to buying that kit and definitely won’t be buying it now. I’m interested to see what solution you come up with mate. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏻
Hey brother, Ive got a 2022 LC79 It is currently in Toyota for a repair under warranty. I suspect the throw out bearing in the gear box. Anyway they dropping the gear box to repair Its been 1 week so far. My LC79 has 23,000km on it. So just be aware if you hear a funny noise. It is very faint. But you can hear it. Once you engage the clutch the noise goes away.
@@OutbackOffroadNT it’s worth a bit of time and effort you only need to target the big flat areas it so satisfying when you close the doors not having a tinny sound .
