Vehicle window seal noise problem fixed with AC602/2

Automotive window seal noise can be a real problem. There are various types of problem but the one encountered in this recent project was popping or clicking sound reported by an automotive OEM. The noise was generated when a rubber seal was compressed, which was happening intermittently over certain uneven types of road surface. The problem was exaggerated on the video for the purposes of demonstration, the actual noise was not as audible.

The noise issue was eliminated with the AC602/2 Antifriction Coating. The AC602/2 can be purchased at our online shop.
