In order to design automotive parts that stay competitive, it&#;s important to understand some details behind automotive weatherstripping. Weatherstripping (or weatherseals) is the system that seals any openings in a vehicle to keep out weather conditions. The word is also used to describe the actual materials used to implement these sealing systems.
Please visit our website for more information on this topic.
Weatherstripping (and other sealing solutions) are used for all sorts of automotive applications. They are needed wherever the interior compartment of an automobile or other form of transportation needs to be sealed from the environment. The material you use needs to integrate and function well with the body design of the vehicle.
An important factor to consider when selecting material for automotive weatherstripping is the engineering of the parts. Let&#;s take a look at several engineering factors.
Whether the vehicle is operating at full speed or parked, the weatherstripping must maintain full functionality.
Also, weatherstripping must be flexible enough to address vibrations caused by vehicle movement.
The material used must be able to handle subzero temperatures. Conversely, it must be able to tolerate extreme heat and extensive exposure to the sun.
Of course, auto weatherstripping should also withstand liquids including gasoline, oil, and methanol (windshield washer fluid). Bumps and vibrations cause movement between the body of a vehicle and movable parts like windows and doors. This movement might cause water to penetrate the vehicle. Weatherstripping must be applied to seal the gap.
Another important factor to keep in mind is that weatherstripping can play a part in keeping noise out of the passenger compartment, which impacts ride quality. Similar to how the movement between body and movable parts mentioned above causes water to enter, the movement can also cause noises like rattles, squeaks, and creaks to pollute the passenger compartment.
If we consider a standard four-door vehicle, we can get an idea of weatherstripping size requirements. Each door would need at least 20 feet of material. Every window would require at least 10 feet of material. Trunks would need much larger amounts of material, due to how much more space it needs to seal.
Automotive weatherstripping is usually made of these materials:
Weatherstripping performance can be optimized with the application of specialty coatings. Of course, the coating applied must sufficiently adhere to the material used to manufacture the weatherstripping. When the proper coating is chosen and bonds to the weatherstrip, it can offer several benefits such as:

They either are very feminine or they are held to high standards for excellence in beauty through their objectification for the purposes of creating an ad. This image is not how all ads in the s treated women. In fact, Einav Rabinovitch-Fox argues in her article &#;Baby, You Can Drive My Car: Advertising Women&#;s Freedom in s America&#; that car companies in the s used women as a symbol for something other than seduction and their heightened femininity. Instead, she maintains that the women featured in the advertisements for cars were actually being depicted because they symbolized the new foothold women had in society with the success of the suffrage movement and the new freedoms they were beginning to enjoy. Rabinovitch-Fox argues that this symbol is the &#;modern woman&#; of the early-twentieth century.
