Are Cars Afraid of Getting Wet in the Rain?

[PatrickFitz]

Cars are not afraid of getting wet in the rain. The only part that might get damaged by rain is the car paint. Although current environmental pollution is severe, and rainwater contains some acidic substances that can cause certain damage to the car paint, this damage is completely negligible. However, water ingress is a different story. Below are specific explanations for different water ingress situations: 1. Minor water ingress: If a small amount of rainwater splashes in, it will not affect the car's wiring system or mechanical system. The wiring system is protected by covers, and you only need to clean and dry the wet items. 2. Severe water ingress: Rainwater may enter the cabin, potentially causing malfunctions in electronic devices or rusting some components inside the cabin. Moreover, the passenger seat is close to the dashboard, and rainwater is likely to wet electronic devices when entering the car. Even if the electronic devices are not damaged, the passenger seat, floor mats, and other interior parts may still get soaked.
