Im looking for ideas on how to proof my cab from light. Ive been having trouble with it, cloth seems to be too transperant to light.

How do YOU do it?

Go for the weather stripping @ casa depot. It looks like this:

More or less.. it's hollow on the inside anyway and sticky adhesive flat on one side and the part your cab doors would hit is rounded.

For my c-24 i use one of those mylar car windshield protectors. It covers up the main door very well, I just weighed it down w/ a bottel of neem oil on the top shelf

I light sealed the doors on my cab by using black caulk. Used it to make a gasket. Just put it all around one side & put vaseline on the otherside that the door rests against. Close the door for 24 hrs. to allow the caulk to cure.
Don't loose a single photon around my doors. Works great!! First saw this on OG last year.
