3 tips for maintaining your car ’ s weatherstrip

If the rubber weatherstrip around your car ’ s windows and doors becomes damaged , it ’ ll no longer provide a tight seal . This can lead to water entering your vehicle and consequently causing mold growth and corrosion . Here are three ways to prevent this from happening .

Keep it clean You should regularly wipe down your vehicle ’ s weatherstrip with soap and warm water . It ’ s a good idea to do this whenever you wash the outside of your car .
Repair it as needed It ’ s important to periodically inspect your vehicle ’ s weatherstrip to ensure it ’ s in good condition . If it ’ s starting to lift in certain areas , reattach it with weatherstrip adhesive . If it ’ s frayed or torn in several spots , replace it .
Apply a protectant It ’ s a good idea to apply a specialized protectant to your vehicle ’ s weatherstrip every few months to keep it pliable and protect it from the elements .
You can also ask your mechanic to inspect your weatherstrip when you bring your car in for your next maintenance appointment . n
