What happens to rubber seals on car doors?
As your vehicle gets older, the rubber seals around the doors can become weaker and stop working as efficiently. They can dislodge themselves, become unstuck from the door frames and start to leave a space between the door frame and the rubber seal itself.
What to do if your car door seal is clipped?
Open the door and inspect the old seal. Check if it’s held in place by clips, screws, or glue. If the old door seal is clipped, use pliers or a trim panel removal tool to pry it away from the frame. If it’s screwed, use a screwdriver, of course.
