Why does the car make strange noises after being exposed to the sun?

Because the aging of the sealing strips increases friction, which leads to strange noises. Here is some related information about car exposure to the sun: 1. Hazards: Exposing the car to the sun can affect its glossiness, accelerate tire aging, and promote the generation of harmful substances inside the car. 2. Precautions: Turn on the internal circulation mode, and close the sunroof and windows. After connecting the previous step of opening the sunroof and windows for ventilation, turn on the air conditioning and switch it to internal circulation, then close the sunroof and windows to block the external heat. The cold air output from the car's air conditioning can effectively and quickly cool down the car.
There are strange noises inside the car after being exposed to the sun, which I often encounter, especially when parking outdoors in summer. This is mainly due to the friction caused by the expansion and contraction of plastic or rubber parts when heated. For example, materials in areas like the dashboard, door panels, or storage compartments may deform and creak under high temperatures. Aging of the interior is also an issue, as older cars' rubber seals or connection points are more prone to loosening. It is recommended to park in a shaded spot and use a sunshade to reduce temperature fluctuations. Occasionally spraying anti-aging agents on the seams may help. If the noise is severe, it's best to have it checked by a professional shop to avoid safety hazards. After all, a quiet ride is important.
