Before You Pay a Shop to Quiet Your Tesla, Check What the Job Includes
A secondary seal kit, factory repair and full sound deadening do different work. Identify the sound, then compare the right options. ProGuard is one kit for wind and gap noise at its covered locations.

Before approving a sound-deadening job, ask one question: which sound is this work meant to reduce?
A shop may propose panel treatment, a repair may replace a damaged original seal, and an accessory may add sealing at specific seams. Those are not interchangeable just because each promises a quieter drive.
Compare the job before comparing the bill.
If the annoying sound is wind at a door or pillar seam, a model-specific secondary kit may be worth checking. If it is a new rattle, damaged seal or unexplained leak, start with inspection.
That keeps the decision focused on the car you have and the sound you want to change.
Why the Last Strip May Have Missed the Job
A universal roll needs the correct profile, dimensions and placement. A poor match can leave the target area unaddressed.
Before replacing it, inspect placement and read the fitting instructions. A strip that interferes with closure should be checked rather than forced.
The important question is whether the next product fits both the vehicle and the intended location.
ProGuard is listed as a six-strip kit with model-specific variants. Its piece count is not proof that every Tesla has six leaks or that every competing kit covers just one seam.
Questions to Ask About a Larger Job
Ask which parts will be removed or treated, the expected result, the time involved and the terms for the work. Use the shop’s actual quote rather than a generic price claim.
Then compare an accessory only if its covered locations address the same concern. A cheaper product does not become equivalent work because it is easier to install.
Select the exact vehicle version and review the supplied fitting diagram. The listing describes tailored rubber strips for pillar, door, trunk and hood positions, with installation guidance.

What Published Owners Describe
Published reviewers report individual highway-noise and installation experiences. They do not establish a typical decibel result or prove that a seal kit replaces every kind of sound-deadening work.
Published owner experiences are individual. Read the review’s model and installation detail; this page does not promise a typical decibel change.
How it goes on
Wipe the seam clean → peel the backing → press the shaped strip into place. Six strips, about 15 minutes, no tools. The kit ships with a step-by-step guide and a video.
Check closure and notice what changes on a normal drive
Illustrative installation view. Follow the product instructions and check closure before driving.
After installation, check the doors and hatch, then notice what changed on a normal drive. Do not deliberately loosen a strip and drive as a test. Follow the fitting guide.
A useful result is less of the sound you wanted to address. If another sound remains, investigate that separately instead of assuming every noise needs another seal.

My car is the new model 3 Performance which is already very quiet compared to the previous model 3 but I still noticed an improvement with less road noise.

The kit arrived well-packed, and each part was labeled correctly. I scanned the QR code provided, and that made the install easier.

This is a great product and great service, thanks!
Read the fitting instructions and ask Tesla about vehicle-warranty circumstances. ProGuard’s separate 2-year product warranty does not determine Tesla’s coverage.
What should I know about removal?
Follow the product’s removal instructions. Do not assume every adhesive will always come away without marks.
What noise change can I expect?
The kit targets wind and gap noise at the covered locations. Published owner experiences are individual, not a typical decibel guarantee.
Does the kit fit my Tesla?
Choose the exact model, build year and refresh in the current selector. Ask TeslaHubs before ordering if your vehicle version is unclear.
How does it compare with professional work?
Compare the actual job, not just the price. A kit, factory repair and panel sound deadening can address different concerns.
How should I prepare for installation?
Read the supplied guide, identify each piece and prepare the surfaces as instructed. Plan around 15 minutes, with extra time if placement is unclear.

Request a return within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, unworn, tagged and in their original packaging. Return shipping is customer-paid unless faulty or incorrect. Check eligibility before installation. ProGuard includes a 2-year product warranty.
P.S. Before approving a larger job, confirm the sound and the work it needs. If ProGuard’s fitted locations match the concern, review your exact variant, instructions and unused-item return eligibility. Check the current ProGuard kit.
