Weather Stripping

A new vehicle is a big investment, so you want to take proper care of your ride so it can carry you over many miles. Eventually, components on your car will wear and start to malfunction, and replacing these parts is a great way to make sure your ride continues to run smoothly. 

You can try aftermarket parts, but if you want to ensure you get the most for your money, it's a better idea to go with high-quality OEM components. Pfeiffer Wholesale Parts is a Ford OEM component distributor in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that carries a huge inventory of parts so you can keep your Ford vehicle running at top performance.

When you think about all of the different types of weather that you drive your vehicle through, it makes sense that there would be a layer of protection around your doors and windows to ensure that the elements don't get inside the cabin of your Ford vehicle. This layer of protection is called weather stripping. 

Weather stripping is rubberized material that seals your windows and doors to ensure nothing is leaking into your vehicle. Weather stripping also helps to keep out dirt and dust. Weather stripping comes standard with your vehicle but it can wear out over time due to weather conditions, especially extreme heat and cold. Weather stripping not only keeps the elements out of your vehicle, but also helps with keeping out the noise. How can you tell if your weather stripping needs replacing? 

Obvious signs will be the leaking of rain inside your vehicle. You may also notice rubber pulling away from your doors and windows. Weather stripping is not hard to replace but it is important that when it is replaced you are doing so with OEM quality weather stripping. This type of stripping is made by the manufacturer for your Ford vehicle. Browse our webstore for a large selection of replacement OEM weather stripping.

Why You Need Need Weather Stripping

No one wants to get wet while driving in inclement weather, so weather stripping is a necessary feature on any enclosed vehicle. These thin pieces of rubber fit inside the crevices on your car, truck, or SUV to keep rain from seeping inside during a downpour. 

Although automotive weather stripping is important for keeping you warm and dry when driving through a rainstorm, its primary purpose is to protect your vehicle’s interior. If rain were to drip into your ride constantly, it could damage the interior of your car. Without weather stripping, your vehicle could be at risk every time it is outside during a rainstorm, so it is important to have weather stripping that properly fits.

You don't want to risk installing substandard weather stripping in your car. If it doesn't fit properly, it won't last long, and it probably won't be effective for protecting the interior of your ride from the elements.

How To Know When It's Time To Replace Weather Stripping

Although weather stripping probably isn't the first thing you notice when you look at your vehicle, it plays a huge role in maintaining your ride, so you want to replace it before it wears out completely. 

You may not know how to tell your weather stripping is worn out, but as a general rule of thumb, you should replace it any time it starts peeling off of your vehicle. You should also keep a close eye on it so you notice any disintegration that occurs through wear and tear so you can replace the weather stripping.
