Reducing the resource of every node in the car is as easy as peeling pears. To do this, it is only necessary to show negligence in the use of a particular component. But what, it seems, can break a car door? The AvtoVzglyad portal will tell about the most stupid actions of drivers who cause damage to such an important element of the body.
Of course, it is easy and simple to damage the door in the car just by getting into an accident. However, we will not talk about emergency situations, but about reckless actions and inattention of drivers, by a stupid coincidence, which cause premature wear of car doors.
Let’s start with the most harmless. In any case, it seems to the driver and passengers who do not hesitate to slam the doors. Meanwhile, constant slamming quickly renders hinges and locks useless, which loosen with every hard blow, draining their own resources. It is not for nothing that a number of automakers began to install automatic shutters in their models, which the Russian people perceive only as another manifestation of “showoffs”. Not at all. Self-priming doors extend the life of the mechanisms. Those who do not have such an option should not be shy about showing affection for their “iron horse”.
Another seemingly absurd way to quickly destroy a door in a car is to open it all the way. A wide open door greatly overloads the hinges, causing play and subsequent looseness.
However, it is much worse when the driver and his companions lean against the door. Sometimes this happens unintentionally – when getting in and out, when a person leans his whole mass on an open door, its handle or an interior panel. We are not talking about the habit of some drivers to chat with someone while parking, leaning on the top frame of the open door. You don’t need to be an engineer or a technical expert to understand: sooner or later the “gates” will begin to creak from such a load and simply sag.
It would be useful to add that car owners often open their cars in a hurry and scratch the inner cavity of the door handle with keys, which eventually “climbs” and then rusts. Finally, inexperienced passengers often break the doors in the car and open them after stopping in the yard, where another car is parked nearby. Not having calculated the distance, or even just out of habit, to open the door all the way, they collided with it on a neighboring car. A similar situation is with high curbs, which so often “decorate” the adjacent territory.
By the way, do you know why there is a ceiling grab bar mounted in the passenger compartment to the left of the driver? You will be surprised, but this handle has several useful properties at the same time: read more here.
