I did the passenger side and the overall results are pretty good. I think it reduced my wind noise by about 70% without creating any new noises. My gasket material is thicker than the felt but it is very soft and compresses nicely. It's rated down to -24 degrees F, so it should stay flexible. I'll see how it holds up over the next few months. Thanks for doing Lexus' R&D.

Bill,

I think Wanderer would agree, we have to acknowledge and give credit to e-man for the tip of missing PDI underside rubber plugs.

And your contribution above as well as I live in a warm climate and never thought about material needing to be cold temp. rated for those who do not where you did think of it to mention.
