What to Do When the Car Chassis Sponge Falls Off?
2 Answers
If the soundproofing sponge on the car chassis falls off, it is recommended to go to a repair shop for handling, or you can glue it back yourself. Here is some relevant information: 1. Benefits of chassis soundproofing: Car chassis soundproofing mainly targets the road noise generated by the friction between the tires and the ground, which can significantly reduce the road noise caused by the friction between the tires and the ground, greatly enhancing the driving safety for the car owner. Applying vibration-damping strips and soundproofing cotton to the car chassis will effectively absorb any vibrations and block heat. 2. Soundproofing cotton: Soundproofing cotton has excellent thermal insulation properties. After being applied inside the car engine hood, it can effectively prevent the high temperature of the engine from directly transferring to the hood, thereby protecting the paint on the hood surface and avoiding the hood from becoming foggy during rainy days, which can affect visibility.
I've encountered this issue quite a few times. The sponge layer under the car carpet peeling off is usually caused by adhesive aging, especially in hot and humid environments. The first step is to thoroughly clean the detached area, wiping away old adhesive residue and dust with a cloth to ensure the surface is dry and free of grease. Then apply a strong automotive-specific adhesive, such as 3M double-sided tape or epoxy glue, evenly on both the sponge and the car floor contact surfaces, pressing firmly for a few minutes. If not repaired properly, moisture seeping in can lead to rust and odors in the car floor, which would be a big headache. It's advisable to also check if the surrounding carpet is loose to prevent future issues. After I glued it once myself, it hasn't peeled off again for over two years now. I also make sure to clean the carpet seams more carefully during car washes. Overall, being proactive with maintenance can save a lot on future repair costs.
