What's the use of sealing strips?

The sealant strip is mainly used for doors, windows, skylights, engine rooms and tailboxes, which mainly plays the role of sealing and waterproof. The so-called door closing texture on those luxury cars has a lot to do with whether the sealant strip is used properly and the materials used. If a car's sealing strip is made of thick material, plus scientific application, to achieve excellent sealing, it can make a significant contribution to the sound insulation of the car.

How to maintain it?

In fact, most of the sealant strips on the car can be seen and touched, so when we use the car at ordinary times, we can check it more often, look and touch it, and replace or maintain it in time in case of any damage or crack.

If possible, the owner can wash the car by himself, because the high-pressure water gun is usually used in the outside car wash shop. The injection of high-pressure water will easily lead to the deformation and loss of elasticity of the sealant strip, which will affect the sealing effect, and it is likely to leak water. If the local tyrants feel that they have trouble washing the car, they can choose to go to the high-end car wash shop for fine washing, which can generally meet the requirements of the owner Wash the car.

If the window glass is damaged and needs to be replaced, the sealant strips around the glass are often ignored after the replacement of the glass. In fact, it is necessary to check whether the gap between the glass and the rubber strip is even and tight enough, or it may cause water leakage, air leakage or even abnormal noise.

Use lubricating reducing agent skillfully. This reducing agent is used for the sealant strip, which can lubricate the sliding way of the window, keep elasticity and prevent aging and cracking. If the owner finds that the sealant strip of his car has signs of aging, and it is not necessary to replace it, he can use this reducing agent for maintenance.

Try to avoid the sun and rain for a long time. No matter in summer or winter, the direct temperature of the sun is very high. If the sun is long, the sealant strip will become brittle and accelerate aging. In some areas, acid rain will often occur, which will cause corrosion to the rubber. If possible, park it in the garage.

Open the sunroof at multiple points. The sunroof has now become the basic configuration of the car. It is located on the top of the car after a variety of baptisms. If it is not properly maintained, it is easy to age. In most parts of China, because of the air quality, the car owners haven't opened the sunroof several times a year. In fact, we need to open the sunroof more often, so the sealant strip of the sunroof won't lose its elasticity due to the long-term extrusion.

Clean up the dirt and sand in the gap of the automobile sealant strip in time. No matter what the use environment is, it is inevitable that dust and sand will fall into the gap, especially the gap under the door and around the window. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will produce certain corrosion, so it is necessary to clean it in time.
