Thanks for sharing! I did this as well and do think it makes a noticeable difference in wind noise coming from the doors.

Went ahead and ordered today. Was even a tad cheaper, $9, and will be here tomorrow.

Went out while it was drizzling to check for leaks, no leaks and it did have an effect on the noise! Great easy mod, thanks!

For science I ordered the oem tacoma one. Not as cheap as the Amazon but wanted to see if it would work. Fits well Ofcourse since it is oem and it’s 3m all the way down.

the front door Tacoma one would fit as well but you would need to drill out the holes as it gets clipped on or maybe 3m it.

Definitely seemed a bit quieter on the ride to work this morning.

drill out the holes? Also what part number did you purchase.

Take a look at the link I posted from the taco forum. There’s four holes the 4Runner doesn’t have drilled out compared to the taco, structure is still the same.

Hmm I see, don't know how I would feel drilling holes for the front door gaskets. But I want them..

I just installed the amazon ones

BIG DIFFERENCE (I use Michelin ltx ms2 which is a quiet tire)

-the b-pillar inside transmits noise directly to your ears as
your ears are closest to the B than anything else, and
since it is hollow plastic with a seat belt hole at ear level,
it's sorta like a trumpet and amplifying noise to some extent

this helps deaden some noise from front and rear door panels
because they both press on this heavy rubber strip
and it cuts any wind noise in the crack between them.

I now only hear noise from elsewhere around the vehicle but
right where my ears are, a lot more quiet.


at all speeds an improvement, even 5 mph I noticed
a difference and the faster I went and more cars passing by,
I really see the benefits

on highway I can now hear every subtle
spin up of the turbo at 70-80mph whereas
above 50mph wind noise mostly took over turbo noise

blocks noise from other vehicles around you

these dang $9.99 seals are doing a $250.00 dollar job


it has definite effect on cabin noise

Which length did you order? Or just order the truck length and trim to fit?

I used the amazon link I didn't specify length

trimmed off about 2 inches at bottom

I don't know why they stopped installing this on vehicles, but you'll still find it on Lexus and other higher end car. It was a simple install that only took a few minutes. There is a noticable exterior sound dampening differece with wind/air noise. Totol cost of the mod was $11.99 on Amazon. 2 pc 2.62 Ft is all you'll need. You will have to trim a few inches off. Start from the top of the door and install moving downward. Note- the link below says "does not fit 2025-2026 4Runner". But it worked perfectly. Link for Amazon below photo

Hey thanks for the great tip on this. I just received mine this week and installed them right away. And yes that definitely white noise wind turbulence that you hear on the freeway. Thanks for the tip
