Basically, weatherstripping seals up the gaps around your doors, windows, hood, and trunk. It’s made of rubber or a similar flexible material and comes in a bunch of different shapes and sizes to fit those openings perfectly. It keeps the weather out – rain, snow, wind, dust – you name it. It also helps dampen noise from outside, making the ride quieter, and it can even help insulate the cabin a little bit. Think of it as the first line of defense against the elements. It’s that soft rubber you see when you close a door. It compresses to create a tight seal, preventing water from leaking in and causing rust, or wind whistling past. It’s not something you necessarily see working, but it’s constantly doing its job. It's often stuck to the body of the car and the door or window frame itself. Well, if it fails, you’ll notice pretty quickly. You’ll notice if you get water leaks when it rains, or a drafty interior, or a lot more road noise. Beyond comfort, those leaks can lead to rust, especially around the door sills and window frames, and that gets expensive to fix. Good weatherstripping acts like a shield, protecting the metal of your car and keeping everything dry and comfortable inside. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and doing it proactively can save you a lot of headaches down the road. You can find a good selection of it at places like Fixparts Online, and honestly, it’s a part you can often tackle yourself with a few basic tools.
