How to maintain your car ’ s weatherstrip
The rubber seals , or weatherstrips , around the edges of your car doors prevent rain , wind and moisture from seeping through the gaps into the cabin . Here are a few tips for keeping yours in good shape .
• Wash the weatherstrip . Keep the weatherstrip clean by washing it regularly with car-safe soap and warm water . Dip a rag or sponge in the bucket and scrub any dirt off the lining . Do this whenever you wash the outside of your car .
• Repair or replace weatherstrip . When cleaning the weatherstrip , inspect it to ensure it isn ’ t coming loose anywhere . If it is , reattach it with a tube of weatherstrip adhesive . If it ’ s frayed or torn in several spots , replace it .
• Apply a protectant . To prevent the rubber weatherstrip from drying and cracking , apply a silicone protectant . This ’ ll protect the rubber from excessive heat , preserving its sponginess and lubricating it . The protectant also prevents the strip from freezing in the winter .
Performing these tasks regularly keeps the weatherstrip from damage and helps you avoid replacement . Ask your mechanic to inspect your weatherstrip when you bring your car in for your next maintenance appointment . n
