Cars tend to be especially prone to problems during the cold and rainy months, especially if they’ve been sitting idle in a garage or shed for a while. With winter approaching, it’s time to take some precautions to minimize car breakdowns this winter.
Winters in Qumbran are cold and wet, so checking the roof for leaks before winter should be considered a must. Rain and snow can wreak havoc on your car if you don’t spot and fix possible roof leaks in time. Check for nearby damaged/worn pads and inspect the joints with a flashlight. Larger cracks should be easily visible on a sunny day, but smaller cracks should be detected more carefully. Park your car outside and hose down the garage roof to make sure there are no leaks that need repair.
Get rid of any old roof that has corroded if you think it won’t last all winter. It is better to invest in cheap but durable polycarbonate shingles in advance than to realize later that the old aluminum roof leaked in mid-January. Just in case the old roof leaks, just one night of bad weather can be bad news for the car inside. Check out polycarbonate sheets for an affordable and easy do-it-yourself corrugated roof installation. The polycarbonate sheet roof provides complete protection against snow and rain due to its structural resistance to cold, rain and heat.
Please note that it is recommended to take the car out from time to time to keep it running during the coldest months. Unfortunately, this is not always possible, whether due to weather conditions outside or for some other reason. If the car will be in your garage for an extended period of time during the winter, it may need additional protection. Buy a car cover to add an extra layer of protection between your car and the elements. If your car is parked in a garage, a waterproof car cover should be considered a must.
Animals, especially mice, hide in parked cars in winter. It is natural for them to seek shelter, but if they can get inside, they will cut through the interior wiring and interior of the car. To prevent your car from becoming a haven for sharp-toothed rodents, check the walls, doors, and windows of your garage to make sure there are no holes or crevices for rodents to slip through.
Cold conditions can damage even electric vehicles. If you have a weather-controlled garage, check the insulation system before winter hits. This will help reduce heating costs and make your car healthier.
