The first autumn showers confused many Russian drivers with the consequences: puddles suddenly began to appear in the doorways, which had not happened before. Someone will wave his
Autumn began with heavy rains, and many owners of used cars faced problems: it became damp in the cabin, a characteristic smell appeared, and real puddles “stood” in the doorways. How come something like this has never happened before? This is a classic example of wear and tear on a number of machine design elements. And it’s time to “join hands” – it will get even worse.
Thresholds and doorways are weak points that are the first to ‘give way’ under the pressure of time and rust. Over the years, they are overwritten (and the protective layer comes off for everyone), corrosion begins. And you don’t have to wait long for a hole: the metal there is thin, it will immediately rot until a “draft”. And if there are still puddles, in general, grab “a stopwatch”. What to do to avoid visits to the assembly and paint shop?
First, puddles on the thresholds are a clear symptom of the fatal wear of door seals. It’s too late to smear them with silicone and gently stroke them with a cloth – it’s time to carry out serious restoration procedures. The best is replacement. But if the budget does not allow, you can remove the seals, wash them thoroughly in warm water and stretch a thin thread along the entire gum before installation. It will give the product the desired shape, compensate for the natural draft, and the operator will be able to work without any problems for several more years.
The second important point is the door hinges. They need to be adjusted periodically, even in the absence of accidents and repairs. After all, the years take their toll: the “gates” sag, allowing water to enter the car. Adjustment costs nothing and is done with your own hands according to instructions from the Internet: you just need a pair of screwdrivers and an eye gauge.
When installing doors and magic over rubber seals, it is also worth carefully examining the integrity of the paintwork of the openings: if there are already bare spots or deep scratches, it is a good idea to repair them: gently paint with a brush or cotton swab. Such “service” will not affect the appearance and speed, and will delay expensive body repairs for several years. For an operation, the red price of which is 300 rubles, this is a good result.
