The disadvantages of adding sealing strips to a car are as follows: 1. Car sealing strips are usually installed between doors and door sills, the front hood, the trunk, and the B-pillar. Due to the addition of sealing strips, it may cause doors, trunks, and other components to fail to close properly, and there may even be instances where the sealing strips are exposed after closing, which is very unsightly. 2. Adding sealing strips cannot significantly improve noise reduction, as the vehicle's sound insulation performance depends on many factors. Relying solely on sealing strips is clearly unrealistic. 3. Sealing strips are rubber products and require regular inspection and maintenance. If the sealing strips age, they may fall off, affecting the appearance. Maintenance of car sealing strips: 1. Clean with car detergent, and after cleaning, apply a layer of highly permeable protective agent to prevent the rubber sealing strips from aging. 2. High-speed driving can easily cause dust and sand to accumulate in the gaps of the sealing strips, leading to abnormal noises and rust over time. Therefore, regularly use a brush to clean out dust and sand. 3. Check if there are cracks in the door sealing strips. If there are, they can be repaired with adhesive. However, if there are many cracks and they are severe, it is best to recommend replacement.
