The Cruiser store contacted me on instagram with the following information below regarding the seals, this makes sense now and I really appreciate them reaching out, legends. Gday Mate! Just wanted to reach out and say thank you for the feedback of our door seal kit. We were completely shocked to see the gap it left! Unfortunately, it seems toyota have changed the way all the plastic sits around the door frame on the new facelift as it is DEFINITELY not meant to look like that! In previous models, the vehicle just had a simple pinch weld (like our seals but without the bulb) so there was no gap or difference left as a result of installing our product. Unfortunately, we haven't had a chance to test it on a new model and wrongly assumed it would have been the same as years prior. We will be updating the website to reflect that this product is not suitable for the new 2024 facelift 70 series as the finished result is terrible! Ill follow this up with some pics of our 2023 which has the old style interior. We would like to go ahead and refund your order, can you tell us your name or order number? Cheers Brayden

Surely there has to be a neater way hey Brother. That gap is rubbish. I reckon if rather the wind noise to be honest. Thanks heaps for sharing this. I nearly pulled the trigger on buying these a couple of weeks ago Look forward to seeing what you do. If I find something I’ll let you know Cheers Brother 🤙

Such a great wealth of information. Wish I'd had that in 2019. I invested in the safari armax package and i recommend that unless one is towing all the time, better $ spent on rear axle width correction for handling. Looking forward to seeing how your 79 works for you.

I was eventually getting around to buying that kit and definitely won’t be buying it now. I’m interested to see what solution you come up with mate. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏻

Did you get. Seal of approval first 😂😂😂😂

You are the only KZfaqrs with new V8. I would not worry. But just know. If you need to know any further details Im always in your comments etc. But im trying to avoid people like yourself of not being able to identify an issue. If it was not for my bros LC79 i would have ignored it.

I've got an idea for you. Pull the plastic trim off. You won't notice a gap then. Thanks for the update.

Wind the windows down and push the top of the window frame in its an old dealer trick to stop wind noise around the window frame

I put two sheets of noise dampening in the front doors of my new 78 and it was a dramatic improvement

Place seal in sunlight, maybe on roof for an hour to heat right up prior to installing.This will make the rubber more malleable! Regards hj75

It's good that The Cruiser Store offered to refund your money back. Let's hope they make one that suits your model soon. 👍

Just had a squizz online. Maybe the factory seal + adhesive seal. Dunn and whatson sell them pretty cheap

Hey brother, Ive got a 2022 LC79 It is currently in Toyota for a repair under warranty. I suspect the throw out bearing in the gear box. Anyway they dropping the gear box to repair Its been 1 week so far. My LC79 has 23,000km on it. So just be aware if you hear a funny noise. It is very faint. But you can hear it. Once you engage the clutch the noise goes away.

You reckon. Just adding window seal from bunnings will help with factory seal? Good information mate as always. Thank you

A bit of black scilcon no probs 🤙🤙

That's terrible! Usually, the blister on the aftermarket pinch weld comes off easily. Maybe, you could neatly glue it to the Toyota pinch weld.

This seal is for the non curtin air bag variants. 76, troopy and dual cab. Not the single cab

Mate would it fit over the top of the old seal?

Did that heat paint work

That is a horrible gap.

Maybe the factory seal was meant as a space filler between the metal and the interior plastic. I have to be honest. It looks bad.

Hey dude

Well that’s not very good is it
