When your car door seals leak, it’s more than just a passing nuisance. Water damage can occur to your interior, necessitating the replacement of upholstery or other components. In nearly every instance of leaking car door seals, which you may notice in the form of rain making its way inside or an annoying whoosh of air through the car door leak, worn weather stripping around the door is the culprit. While this is a relatively easy fix, it's better to prevent leaking door seals in the first place than incur the cost of replacing the weather stripping down the road. Here are some steps you can take to prevent door seal leaks in your car or truck:
您可以做的最有效的事情以防止泄漏的门密封件是使其在常规汽车护理程序中洗车的一部分。这是清洁天气剥离而不会无意中损害它的最佳方法:
准备一个装满温水的水桶,里面有四分之一的温和清洁剂,例如洗碗皂。
使用软海绵或布,用肥皂水轻轻擦拭密封件,以清除所有污垢和污垢。
Rinse the weather stripping thoroughly with just water and a non-sudsy cloth or sponge.
Then, allow the seals to air dry thoroughly with the doors open.
一旦它们干了,您就可以关闭门,照常开展业务。
正如您可以调节头发以密封水分一样,您可以调节天气剥离,以帮助其保持更好的元素磨损。即使是调节门密封一次或每年两次都可以极大地帮助他们持续更长的时间,尽管更频繁地这样做(每次洗涤频率)更有效:
使用设计的基于硅酮的喷雾调节天气剥离。此类产品在大多数汽车零件商店都可以买到,并避免使用石油的任何清洁产品,因为石油会降低天气剥离的柔软橡胶的质量。
After you wash and allow the seals to air dry, spritz a generous amount of the conditioning product onto a clean, dry cloth.
然后,将护发素轻轻擦到每辆汽车或卡车门的整个天气剥离表面上。
With proper care of the weather stripping on your vehicle’s doors, you can prevent leaking door seals for a while, potentially lengthening the life of your seals for years. Eventually, however, all weather stripping will need replacing, although it may take up to decades for the degradation of the original seals to occur. If this happens, know that it is not your fault and just part of the natural order of things when it comes to automobiles. When you notice any leaks, whether in the form of moisture or air, act quickly to keep the repair costs as low as possible.
