Maintenance Tips of BYD 1268090500 Door frame weatherstrip for Song PLUS EV/Song PLUS DM-i
- First, ensure the door frame is clean before installing the BYD Song PLUS EV/Song PLUS DM-i door frame weatherstrip (OE# 1268090500). Remove any dirt or debris to guarantee a proper fit.
- Next, carefully align the weatherstrip with the door frame. Start from one end and gradually press it into place, making sure it follows the contour of the frame.
- Use a heat gun to soften the weatherstrip slightly if it's difficult to bend around curves. This makes installation easier and ensures a tight seal.
- Check for any gaps or unevenness after installation. Adjust the weatherstrip as needed to ensure a consistent fit around the entire door frame.
- Finally, test the door to make sure it closes smoothly. A well - installed weatherstrip should not interfere with the door's operation.
Warning: Do not over - stretch the BYD door frame weatherstrip during installation. Over - stretching can cause the weatherstrip to lose its elasticity and fail to provide an effective seal.
