2011 Volkswagen Bora cabin water leakage may be caused by leaks in the front windshield sealing strip, clogged sunroof drainage pipes, or poor sealing of the sunroof rubber gasket. Specific details about the 2011 Volkswagen Bora are as follows: 1. Exterior Overview: The new Bora has a wheelbase that is 97mm longer than the previous model, reaching 2610mm, which is close to the wheelbase of many B-segment cars. This significantly increases the cabin space of the new Bora, with almost all of the additional wheelbase used to improve rear seating space, greatly enhancing rear passenger comfort. 2. Interior Features: The Bora's interior design is simple and practical. High-end versions like the 1.8T are well-equipped, featuring ASR, an onboard computer, heated rearview mirrors, auto-dimming rearview mirrors, heated seats, rain-sensing wipers, electronically adjustable headlight height, and more.

I think water leakage in the cabin of the 2011 Volkswagen Bora is quite common, and many car owners have encountered it. It could be due to a clogged sunroof drain pipe—when leaves or dirt accumulate there, water can backflow into the cabin. Aging door seals are another common cause; over time, the seals fail, allowing water to seep in during rain. If the windshield installation sealant cracks, it can also lead to leaks. Another issue is a clogged air conditioning drain pipe—the water discharged from the AC system is supposed to flow outside, but if blocked, it can leak into the footwell area, creating a damp feeling. Lastly, don’t forget to check if the drainage holes at the bottom of the car body are clear—if clogged, accumulated water can seep inside. To prevent these issues, it’s best to regularly clean the drainage system or replace seals. If you notice any leaks, take the car to a professional shop promptly to prevent mold growth.

How to Drain the Windshield Washer Fluid in a Geely Car?

First, release the hood safety latch, reach under the slightly opened hood, and pull the safety catch upward to fully open the hood. Open the cap of the windshield washer fluid reservoir, insert a long tube into it, and push it as far inward as possible. From the other end of the tube, suck out the fluid from the reservoir. When the fluid level drops to about the same height as the headlights, you can remove the tube. In winter, it's important to check if the windshield washer fluid is frozen. If it is, you'll need to use the engine's heat to thaw the fluid before draining it.

How to Solve the Rattle in the Prado Glove Box?

When picking up the car, there may be protective plastic film stuck near the door pedals and door speakers. If the audio volume is turned up too high, the film will vibrate along with it, causing rattling noises. Simply remove the film. Tap in the installation direction to ensure the gear shift is secure. If the gear shift is loose, it may produce rattling noises when driving on uneven roads. There is a connector inside the glove box that can cause rattling when moved. Wrap and secure this area tightly with sponge or plastic zip ties. If the above methods fail to resolve the rattling issue, promptly send the car to a 4S dealership to check for any abnormal faults or repair needs in the car components.

How to Remove the Shark Fin Antenna on a BMW 3 Series?

Bend the blade head to a 90-degree angle, as there is a groove at the shark fin antenna's mounting position. Directly cutting with force will not allow the blade to enter and may damage the paint and the shark fin. First, firmly tape the edges of the shark fin with art tape, but leave a gap for the blade to move. Slowly insert the blade head from the front of the shark fin and pull it backward horizontally with steady force. Insert a scraper into the already cut section and move it gently to avoid scratching the paint. Once the rubber separates, the shark fin can be removed.
