Why Weather Stripping Is Important?

Over time, your car's weather stripping will take a beating from constantly opening and closing doors, rolling windows up and down, and the inevitable forces of nature. As much as we'd like to believe that something lasts forever, the weather stripping on your truck or car can wear out due to a variety of factors - and the results are never too satisfying.

Imagine sitting in the driver's seat, soaked by water seeping in through the window. Or what about opening the door and smelling a musty odor or hearing a noisy draft every time you accelerate? A bad automotive weather stripping can not only be annoying, but it can also affect the performance of your vehicle and damage the interior of your car.

Instead of using the classic solution of wrapping tape around any opening, you can count on weather stripping supplier King Plastic Composite Material to provide you with the best body weatherstripping kit available.

Why Weather stripping and Seals Are Important to Your Vehicle?

Weather stripping is a rubber material used to seal the edges of doors, windows, windshields, and other areas of a vehicle. Also known as "weather seals" or "windshields," they prevent outside elements such as rain, snow, wind, and pests from entering your vehicle's interior. Weatherstrips even help keep doors closed, trunks sealed and windows tightly wound. When shopping online, you'll find different seals for trucks and cars that are a perfect fit for the make and model year you have.

The purpose of seals is to eliminate water leaks, wind noise, rattling, and metal-to-metal contact. But when should you replace rubber seals? Unlike having to replace them after a specific number of miles or months, weather stripping should be replaced as soon as the originals begin to show any signs of wear. You need to replace the seals when you start experiencing wind noise, leaks, or other problems.

For DIY car enthusiasts, replacement is easy. However, it can be challenging to pinpoint the problem. You can determine the location of a leak by using a hose to see where water is dripping or pooling. Even if the seal isn't leaking, if it starts to crack or flake, you'll need to replace it before it starts causing problems.
