Aa has been installing soundproofing strips since the beginning of her life, but after about 3-6 months of use, she felt that they were ineffective, and then she happened to read some static reviews on the internet.Taiwan-based R&D team, unique materials and technologies, Taiwan-wide distribution and service points.this timeTranquility Theory Former Township Kaohsiung Direct StoreIt is the only directly-managed store in Southern Taiwan set up by the head office of Jinghua Theory, so this time I took the opportunity of coming to Kaohsiung to take care of my car at the directly-managed store.
If you are bored during the construction process, you can go to the nearby Labor Park, where there is also a flower market to browse, or just relax in the rest area.

Comparison of before and after noise insulation works
The video is the most direct way to feel the contrast between before and after the construction.
▌ Exterior and Rest Areas
Before the tour guide arrives, you will see an obvious sign, and the store entrance is right next to it.The entrance to the Wheel of Silence is very clean and tidy.Once you enter the doorway, there is a large explanatory sign next to the door, where you can see the different specifications and prices of each part, and the grade of the construction is also briefly explained here.In many places, whether it's a car wash, a film wrap or a soundproofing place, there isn't a place where you can take a good rest, but the Kaohsiung store of Silent Theory actually has a small rest area where you can work on your computer or watch TV on the sofa comfortably, so you don't need to worry about where you should go anymore.It's really easy to fall asleep while sitting here, and the heat and cold make the seat comfortable.
▌ Construction Details
Because Aa said that she had installed some bad plastic strips for her friend, so she had to finish the old plastic strips first before she could install it.
- Remove old plastic strips -
The store manager has carefully checked every place that may cause poor quality or sound insulation, and he even wore a headlamp on his head, which is super professional!All of these strips need to be replaced in order to achieve the best results.The store manager took out two cloths at this time, and after wiping with a wet cloth, he also wiped again with a dry cloth, in order to achieve the best results, and he was really very attentive!
- Installation of new tape -
The store manager said that the static theory is not only the use of good material, and there is a province-wide one-year warranty, if the non-human factors can be free of charge maintenance warranty!
Our first construction place is the C-pillar, that is, the back seat by the rear trunk place, we do this time is airtight, so first help us in the outermost seam first paste a circle of adhesive tapeThen the next whole section is connected to the middle section, these are a whole section without interruption, in order to achieve the best effect.Installation of the outermost ring can be found and the previous installation of the sound insulation strip is not quite the same, not as before, the entire strip was squeezed to the point of feeling, but a very snug stuck in the seam.After the outer ring has been affixed, another ring will be added to the original waterproof soundproofing strip to increase the soundproofing effect.There are some places where the original adhesive tape is thicker, so they will keep the original one and bury the new one inside, so as not to hurt the original boards, and the original tape will not be deformed.The joints are also an important part of the soundproofing, and many stores do not take care to make the joints properly, which can easily reduce the effect of the soundproofing.The manager of the store is very dedicated and careful in every area, and has a professional feel.The next part to be done is the front door, starting with the lower part.Next is the most difficult part, is the front door A-pillar of this seam, because there is not much space can be utilized, sticking really admire the shopkeeper's skills.A-pillar construction will be completed this way, the original seam detail is completely filled, and did not become crowded to deformationThe other side of the door needs work. Start with the front door.This kind of attitude is really reassuring.The way it looks is really pretty, and the tape is tightly attached.In addition to the more exposed parts, there are also some areas that require special care, the store manager was very careful to use a headlamp to look at them.You can feel that every little thing is done with great care to make the service quieter.The flatness of each joint is excellent.This action is done by properly poking the glue in the gap with a tool to ensure that the stability of the glue has generated enough resistance so that the glue will not be blown open by a strong high-speed wind, which in turn generates wind-cutting noise.The A-pillar on the other side is also perfectly finishedThe next step is to do the bonnet, at which point it is necessary to do a good check to see if there is any dirt that could affect the quality.It just so happens that this car is one of the few cars that will need to do the hood, not every car can be installed according to the hood soundproofing tape, but before the construction of all the places to be constructed as well as the surrounding area to be cleaned.In order to get the best result, I also used a headlight to shine it over and over again to avoid any imperfections.The bonnet is also very well taped.As you can see, this air gun focuses on removing excess water and dust from the car.The soundproofing strips in the rear compartment not only keep out the sound, but also have the added benefit of keeping mud and dirt out of the crevices.Fill in every space with care.Some places that are not easy to paste by hand will be assisted by some gadgets, just for the best result.After the final paste will also use the protective agent to wipe all the tape once, so that the best durability time, no wonder the static theory dares to guarantee a year's time!
▌ What it looks like after installation
The left side is after installing the plastic strip, the right side is the front door without the plastic strip, the thickness of the whole is much worse, so as to achieve a better sound insulation effect.This is the gap between the back door and the front door, before the soundproofing is a very obvious gap, after the completion of a strip of plastic here!
▌ Aa's Feelings About Static Theory
This is the first time Aa store to install soundproofing strips, I can only say and in the past we feel too much difference in the earth's steel, first of all, the quality of the plastic strips, it is obvious and the general network to buy a big difference, static the theory of the plastic strips are more sturdy but flexible, and in the process of construction can be a good rest on the sidelines or to do their own thing, look at the shopkeeper's construction process and the focus on the sample can be very assured, and construction is complete! It is also a big difference with the past, the previous one is like a thing does not fit but hard extrusion so that he did not have a seam fine, but static theory is very obedient, when the door is closed there is a very obvious feeling!
If your car just bought or want to buy a new car, quite recommended can come to do sound insulation, if it is previously done sound insulation, it is recommended to go to the car beauty to remove the plastic strips and then come to do, will have the best results!
▌ Aa feeling after 2 weeks of using Staticide Soundproofing Strips
The feeling after using the soundproofing strip is only one praise! It turns out that the quality of the strip really affects a lot, the most obvious feeling is that Aa used to chat in the car have to be louder, especially on the highway, the volume of the music has to be played louder, but now just use the previous 80% volume is enough, and less wind noise is really a completely different feeling of the world!
