Is It Useful to Install Sealing Strips on Cars?
2 Answers
Installing sealing strips on cars can be somewhat useful, as they help better fill the gaps between vehicle body components, thereby providing benefits such as noise reduction, moisture prevention, and vibration damping. Method for installing sealing strips: Thoroughly clean and dry the areas where the noise-insulating sealing strips are to be installed, as well as the flat surfaces of the strips; select the appropriate attachment positions, locate the starting point for attachment, and then press and attach the strips sequentially from the starting end; after ensuring all strips are correctly positioned, trim the noise-insulating strips appropriately, and then press them down carefully by hand. Points to note when installing sealing strips: Automotive sealing strips are rubber and plastic products, and prolonged exposure to sunlight can easily lead to aging and hardening. Additionally, automotive sealing strips are installed in small gaps, such as between doors and door bottoms, under the hood, in the trunk, and around the B-pillar. Moreover, the addition of sealing strips may cause components like doors and trunks to not close properly, so attention must be paid to the fit when installing automotive sealing strips.
As a car owner, I found installing sealing strips absolutely useful. It significantly reduces wind noise and engine noise inside the car, especially making the sound much quieter when driving on highways, creating a quieter and more comfortable driving experience. On rainy days, there's no water leakage through sunroof or door gaps, keeping the interior seats dry. This thing is made of rubber material, and after installation, it also prevents dust, avoiding dust accumulation that could lead to air pollution inside the car. The installation is not expensive, costing just a few dozen yuan, and you can do it yourself without needing a repair shop. In the long run, it protects the metal parts of the car body from rusting, extending the car's lifespan. Overall, it offers great value for money, and I recommend every car owner to try it. It can make daily driving journeys more relaxed and improve quality of life.
