Has anyone used the Shark Racing Windblock / Door Edge Noise seals?  Are they worth it?

Wow! Never heard of those before. Probably worth googling for reviews/ comments from owners... Not sure I could live with the look on a white or light coloured car though.. :undecided:

At that price probably worth a try!  :cool:

Most noise comes from the tyres and the wheel wells.   I don't think adding those seals would help much; it is already quite well sealed around the doors.

I agree.
And roof racks if you have them.  :rolleyes:

Thanks for the info.

The colour of my i30 is I think a Luna Blue or something - so reasonably dark...  if I purchase anything from Shark Racing - I'll add them to the order & try. There is nothing to loose.

I drove a Mercedes B200d on the weekend back from Lands End to Berkshire and all I can say is that it was just as noisy as the i30.  But it has a big problem with wind noise.

As the i30 has a lamina flow breakaway point around the rear door edge.  I wonder if these might help a little keeping that area a little cleaner?
