    Close slowly so as not to give too much momentum

    Have you ever lived in a quiet residential area and slammed the door when you got home in the middle of the night or went out early in the morning and thought "Mad!"? Recent cars are highly airtight, so it tends to be a momentum so that it does not become a half-door, but the most noisy tightening method is to gain that momentum and close it by releasing your hand from the door on the way.

    To close the door quietly, stop it about 10 cm before the door closes, and push the door with your entire palm to close it without making a loud noise.Click here for the image

    The basics are the same when closing from inside the car. It's not noisy if you pull it toward you from the place where the gap is about 10 cm. At that time, if you open the window a little and then close the door, it will be closed with less force, so you can close it even more quietly.Click here for the image

    The trick is not to close it with momentum and to keep your hands on the door until the end. The trunk and rear gate are basically the same, but the trunk etc. are closed using gravity, so if you give only a chance to close slowly, the rest should be almost closed by inertia.Click here for the image

    Contrary to the door, the last 10 cm feels like taking your hand off the gate and waiting for it to close automatically. While the damper of the rear gate is strong (it will soon be worn out), it may be necessary to assist by hand due to the gate inertia + insufficient, but in any case it is important to close it slowly so as not to give too much momentum. ..Click here for the image

    Also, don't forget to grease up the hinges, strikers, slide door rollers, etc. from time to time. If the car is equipped with a "door closer system" (auto-closer / easy door closer) that automatically closes the door from the half-door state in a minivan, etc., manually slowly move the door to the half-door state, and then the door closer. The most reliable is to leave it to the function.Click here for the image

    Of course, if it is an electric opening and closing type sliding door, it can be opened and closed quietly.
