First of all. Special thanks to all these wonderful people-Dmor, Tim, Acura4life, Kinmanc, 7plus, XtremeMDX, The Worm and other members who by sharing their own experience and knowledge have help me since the first day I thought about buying a MDX.
My MDX looks a lot better than 6 months ago. I learned how to installed so many things (and save $$$) that I couldn’t ever think of it. Here is a list with pics of my work.
Shopping at Home Depot for screen spline I found this Clear Vinyl Tubing – 10 feet – ¼ x 170” that cover the gap in a better way in my opinion.
Lift the rubber end and leave 3 to 4 inches of the tube in the hole, continue all the way around. Do it slowly and use a small ice cream stick and cover it with a rag or towel to push the tube in and not scratch the body.
You will not need anything to hold it at the ends. Make sure to put the end rubbers the same way. If by any reason you ever change your mind, just pull it out. The wind noise that you feel right in your forehead is gone as Dmor states by 80%. Still, you are going to feel the one coming on the sides and in the top but this is normal for any SUV or Van. I also have a Sienna and the wind noise is just about the same. If you travel at 75 or more open and close the moonroof cover inside, if you notice any difference is normal and there is nothing you can do about it, is just the pressure of the wind over your car which BTW applies to the whole body.
