Are the Drain Holes of New Cars Blocked?
1 Answers
New car drain holes are not blocked. Here is some extended information about drain holes: 1. Location: The sunroof drain holes of a car are usually located inside the A-pillars and C-pillars of the vehicle. There is a round rubber plug, with one on each side of the rear longitudinal beams, similar to the front ones. When water enters the sunroof channel, it flows towards the drain holes and then exits the vehicle through the drain pipes. 2. Hazards: If the sunroof drain pipe is blocked, water may flow into the car, causing water ingress in the cabin. Once the drain holes are blocked, water leakage or seepage can occur inside the car, which may damage the interior panels in mild cases or lead to damage to mechanical components and the engine's electrical system in severe cases. Therefore, it is essential to keep the sunroof drain pipes clear and to perform regular maintenance on the sunroof.
