[QUOTE="LCP, post: 153284, member: 2424"] Vincent, The Teflon tape looks like a typical cellotape or the thin type double-sided tape, and it is sticky on one side only (like cellotape). Width of tape is about 1cm. Diameter of each reel is maybe 10-15cm, taping all 4 doors did not even use up much of a reel. The non-sticky side has a very smooth feeling, which led me to suspect that it's Teflon That shop tore off part of the BMW part no. on the plastic wrap of the tape, so I can't tell much... you might wanna try your regular parts shop in Klang Valley (eg. Bavarian Auto) to ask for the tape. I'm sure they have it. Apparently, this is a recommended fix by BMW, not only for E36, but also for E46. My car is quieter after putting the tape although I can't quite figured out what were the noise that went away. When the shop boss drove my car out for test drive (for the rear bearings repair), he kept on saying something about body panel squeaks, pointing to the doors, saying that I must try the tape.
