Where to Apply Door Anti-Vibration Pads?
2 Answers
Apply them to the most protruding part of the door when it is fully opened. Below is relevant information about car door anti-vibration pads: 1. Function: They prevent the shock absorber from coming into contact with the car body. When the car turns and the center of gravity shifts to one side, causing the car body to tilt and compress the springs, these pads provide support, thereby reducing the car's roll. 2. Composition: They are made of paper, rubber sheets, or copper sheets and are placed between two surfaces to enhance sealing. As sealing materials between two surfaces, they serve as sealing elements set between static sealing surfaces to prevent fluid leakage.
As an ordinary car owner who frequently deals with such issues, you asked where to apply the door anti-vibration tape. I recommend applying it on the sealing strip along the door edge, especially at points prone to impact and friction. Simply put, these are the areas where the door contacts the car body, such as near the door frame and hinge zones. I’ve done it myself before—the steps involve cleaning the surface with alcohol to ensure it’s dust-free, and avoid moisture before application, or the tape won’t stick. Choosing the wrong spot might cause the door not to close tightly or increase noise, so test a small piece in an inconspicuous area first. The benefits are significant: it reduces door-closing noise and vibrations, especially in city traffic, making the cabin much quieter, and protects the door paint from scratches. Opt for soft silicone material, not too thick, to avoid hindering door operation. Pay attention to door sounds while driving; proper application can greatly enhance driving comfort.
