Here are four great tips on how to make your car interior last for years to come...

1) Fix bad weather-stripping immediately.

If your weatherstripping is allowing rainwater to seep into your car's interior, take a look at it and decide if you can repair it or need to replace it. Small leaks can be controlled with brush-on seam sealers. Re-secure loose sections, not otherwise damaged, with trim adhesive. Torn sections can be repaired with special caulking, available at auto parts stores. You may be able to extend the life of worn sections by inserting foam rods, available at automotive stores, into the hollow section of automotive weatherstripping. If you decide to replace an entire section of the gasket, don't buy generic ones as you'll use them around the house. Buy a product that matches your car's original season -- available in a variety of profiles from dealerships and automotive mail-order catalogs.

2) Park in the shade.

Of course, a garage is always the ideal place to park your car. But if one isn't available, minimize interior damage from UV sunlight and heat by always trying to park your car in the shade. If no shade is available or if you find parking under trees results in bird droppings, use a car shed to reduce the effects of the sun. As a bonus, you'll have a cooler car to step into on hot sunny days. Car paints come in two basic types: those that you open and apply to the front windshield and rear window, or pleated types that cover the windshield post (with an adhesive), window frames (with Velcro), or the windows themselves (with suction cups).

3) Clean the inside.

Vacuum and sponge your interior every time you wash your car. Dirt particles are abrasive, and spilled liquids such as soda can be corrosive. Vacuum your interior thoroughly with a powerful vacuum (small cordless models are usually very vulnerable). Use appropriate wand heads when vacuuming. The bare metal rod can hit and scratch surfaces. Sponge clean vinyl surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and water.

4) Use floor mats.

Use floor mats to protect the carpeting. A rubber waffle-style mat is best for controlling salt, mud, and mud in the winter. They stay in place, don't let water seep in, and are easy to clean. Carpet-style mats are also helpful. Shake, vacuum or wash as needed and replace them as they wear out.
