Several factors influence the lifespan of car weatherstripping, including material quality, environmental conditions, and maintenance frequency. Understanding these can help you make informed decisions about your vehicle care.
On average, car weatherstripping can last between 5 to 10 years. However, this can vary based on usage and care. Regular inspections can help identify early signs of wear.
Using a measuring tape, carefully measure the length of the existing weatherstripping. This will ensure you purchase the correct size of the replacement material.
Use the utility knife to cut away the old weatherstripping. Make sure to remove any adhesive residue with the adhesive remover and clean the area with a cloth.
Cut the new weatherstripping to the measured length. If it's an adhesive type, apply adhesive as directed on the packaging using a caulking gun.
Carefully press the new weatherstripping into place, ensuring a tight fit against the surfaces of the door or window frame.
Close the door or window to ensure the new weatherstripping seals correctly. Check for any gaps and reposition if necessary.
Always double-check your measurements to avoid purchasing too much or too little weatherstripping material.
Failure to remove old adhesive can prevent the new weatherstripping from adhering properly. Always ensure the surface is clean.
Not all weatherstrips use the same adhesive. Ensure you read the instructions for the specific product you are using.
