What to Do When the Car Door is Deformed and Doesn't Close Tightly with Gaps?
2 Answers
If the car door is deformed and doesn't close tightly with gaps, you should promptly go to a 4S shop or a professional repair shop for maintenance. Below are relevant introductions about both options: 1. Different prices: The advantage of repair shops lies in their prices, as 4S shops have higher markup rates and lower operating costs. 2. Different warranties: In terms of warranty, vehicles that have been regularly maintained and repaired at 4S shops can have issues resolved within the warranty period, with dedicated claims personnel responsible. Cars of good quality rarely experience major faults within the warranty period. Therefore, go to a 4S shop during the warranty period and switch to an auto repair shop after the warranty expires.
Last year, I also encountered the problem of the car door not closing tightly, with constant wind and rain leaking through the gaps. Upon careful inspection, I found that the door had slightly deformed due to a parking scrape. I attempted to fix it myself: first, I used a wrench to tighten the three screws at the door hinge, adjusting the door position to align with the frame; then, I gently tapped the deformed area with a rubber hammer to repair the dent; I also replaced the aging sealing strip. If it’s a severe collision deformation, professional equipment would be needed for panel beating repair, and remember to check if the door lock is misaligned. After the repair, I tested the sealing by placing a piece of paper in the door gap to see if it could be easily pulled out. Since the repair, there has been no rain leakage while driving, and the sound insulation has improved significantly.
