How Often Should Car Sealing Strips Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Car sealing strips should be replaced based on their condition, typically every three to four years. Below is relevant information regarding the replacement of vehicle sealing strips: 1. First, inspect the sealing strips for significant cracks or breaks. If the sealing strip is broken, adhesive can be used for repair. 2. If the sealing strip is severely damaged or significantly aged, it is best to replace it with a new one. Relevant details for replacing vehicle sealing strips are as follows: 1. Before replacing the sealing strip, ensure you select the correct type that matches your vehicle model, as different sealing strips are designed for different vehicle models. 2. After selecting the appropriate sealing strip, remove the old one before installation. Clean the area where the sealing strip will be applied, then apply a protective agent before installation to prevent aging and enhance the sealing function. 3. When replacing door sealing strips, note that doors usually have one or two drainage holes. Ensure these holes are not blocked to prevent water accumulation inside the vehicle. 4. If there is unusual noise during window operation, it might indicate an issue with the sealing strip. If adjusting the strip's position does not resolve the problem, replacement may be necessary. 5. Pay attention to the sunroof sealing strip as well. Since it is constantly exposed to the elements, prolonged exposure can lead to severe wear. Damaged sealing strips may cause air or water leaks. Therefore, regular maintenance and inspection of the sunroof sealing strip are essential, and replacement should be done promptly when needed.
