What Are the Hazards of Slamming Car Doors?
2 Answers
The hazards of slamming car doors: 1. The hinges and fasteners can be damaged, leading to wear and displacement; 2. The sound insulation layer can be severely affected, and if the door is damaged, noise levels can skyrocket; 3. The door is prone to aging, and loose hinges and limiters can also cause internal components of the door to loosen, such as clips, door lights, and sensor switches; 4. The door may develop permanent deformations that are difficult to detect with the naked eye, accelerating paint peeling and rusting, which affects the door's protective function and lifespan; 5. The sealing strips, subjected to strong force, are more likely to deform and crack; 6. Sensors responsible for alerting when the door is not properly closed can also be easily damaged.
Slamming car doors might seem harmless, but over time, it can cause the door hinges and latches to deform or loosen, resulting in difficulty opening and closing the doors and annoying squeaks. The door frame may also warp, affecting the sealing strip's effectiveness, allowing rainwater to seep in during wet weather and soaking the car's carpet, which then requires tedious cleaning. Even worse, uneven stress on the window edges can lead to loose or cracked glass over time, and replacing a new piece of glass can cost hundreds of dollars. Having driven for over a decade, I've seen many friends' door issues start with this small habit. That's why I always handle doors gently when getting in to avoid unnecessary trouble.
