Car body seals seal the sunroof, body and doors in order to prevent water getting into the car and to reduce noise.
6 tips on how to maintain and replace car body seals
Car body seals do not have a defined service life, therefore, they only need to be replaced when they break or come off.
It is recommended that you do not delay replacing a seal when it is necessary, as leakage can damage the interior.
Before you start mounting car body seals, clean and degrease the contact surface.
To maximise a seal’s service life, clean the parts with a dry cloth to eliminate excessive moisture after washing the car
Only use rubber specific cleaning products when cleaning seals. If using a spray, be careful not to get it on the car seat upholstery as this could leave stains.
If the door - or another part of the car - has become frozen shut, do not try to open it using hot water. This could break the seal and also lead to corrosion spots on metal parts.
Common problems with car body seals - causes and symptoms
Loss of elasticity.This is caused by exposure to low temperatures during winter. Temperature change causes the rubber to expand and contract, which eventually makes the seals less tight and thus less efficient. Loss of elasticity allows cold air and noise into the car thus making it a less pleasant environment.
Cracks and tears. This is often occurs when opening the door or sunroof of a vehicle that hasn’t been used for a long time. The seal, especially a dirty one, will often stick to the door or sunroof. This damage should be immediately noticeable.
