- The car is washed by too hot water (above 80 Со);
- Damage or wear of moving body parts;
- lack of greasing of moving parts or using lubricants of low quality.
Diagnostics
Assessment of the body condition can be done independently. It is enough to examine all surfaces and components of the body. Paint coating must be smooth and without visible damage. Metal of the body must be free from rust, especially its unpainted parts. The level of gap and the condition of the door seal can be measured using chalk. It is enough to apply it to one seal and close the door several times. Excessive gaps will not whiten. Side windows should rise smoothly and fit tightly against the seal, preventing the ingress of water from outside.
Body repair
Most minor damages to the body can be corrected on your own. Small scratches or damages of the paint are removed by polishing. When there is a gap between the body and the door, seal must be replaced. Visible dents and large damages of the coating can be eliminated on the service station by reshaping and subsequent repainting the damaged area or the entire body. Replacing the body is an irrelevant measure because its value can be up to half the cost of the car itself. In addition, the transfer of all components of the system is too problematic.
