Is it normal for door screws to rust?
1 Answers
It is normal for door screws to rust. The issue of screw rusting is actually quite common. Not only ordinary cars but even luxury brands can experience this problem because a car is composed of nearly 80% metal parts. No manufacturer is willing to guarantee that screws won't rust during the sales process. Additional information: Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Exterior inspection: Before driving, check the doors, engine hood, trunk, and glass condition. Inspect for body damage, tilting, oil or water leaks, etc. 2. Engine and various fluids: Check the fastening condition of engine components and inspect for oil or coolant leaks at engine joints. Adjust belt tension and inspect the securing of pipes and wiring. Top up engine oil, coolant, and battery electrolyte as needed. 3. Tires: Check tire wear and clean the trunk. Replace tires when they approach the wear indicators. Inspect for bulges, abnormal wear, aging cracks, or other damage. 4. Cleaning and lubrication: Clean oil stains from engine hood hinges, door hinges, and trunk hinge mechanisms, then lubricate them. Antifreeze typically has a service life of 2 years and should be replaced during maintenance, with a thorough cleaning of the cooling system. Due to the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, it should be replaced every two years.
