A hole in the threshold: rusty, ugly, spoils the appearance of any car, and all the stories about foam and putty cause only laughter. Well, who in their right mind would cover a hole with synthetic substances? It’s just overcooked! From a theoretical point of view you cannot undermine it. A leaky threshold does indeed lead straight to a welder, but theory often fails in practice. To be precise, the cost of this practice, which can cause not only heartburn, but also insomnia.
So, faced with holes in the thresholds from which the remnants of the once noble Japanese, German or Korean metal fall out, a Russian car enthusiast, who by the will of fate is not a welder-painter, sets out to study the matter. Forums, car clubs and just message boards will give you a starting point.
We have, praise the Almighty, a lot of iron, praise the Almighty, and two thresholds with all the plugs, “boots”, amplifiers and other necessary elements made of millimeter steel cost 9-10 thousand rubles. If you want “stainless steel”, add about 15-20%. Overall, it’s acceptable for now.
The space begins further: the work on installing a new threshold – only the threshold, without an amplifier – will cost 10,000 rubles. But there are two thresholds, and they usually rot at the same time. Next – amplifiers, small elements, a little more here. Welding work per circle costs about 30,000 rubles. But you also have to paint!
We add 10,000 per part, after all we want an acidic primer, color and something beautiful. Having seen and appreciated the “blindness”, the heart contracts and demands the preservation of the result obtained from salts and reagents at such a high price: from 15,000 rubles for treating the bottom and sills with special connections.
To summarize, let’s use simple arithmetic: full thresholds cost about 80,000 to 100,000 rubles. Only thresholds, but without holes. A significant amount, but now that every ruble, which is getting cheaper every day, is in the account, this is in fact a death sentence. That’s why people drive with holes and fill themselves with foam, like in the heady nineties. And don’t laugh at it: that’s life.
