Can Car Doors Leak Water?
2 Answers
Under normal circumstances, car doors do not leak water. Here is a detailed introduction about car doors: 1. Overview: The car door (car-door) provides an entrance and exit for the driver and passengers, isolating external interference. It can reduce side impacts and protect the driver to a certain extent. The design of the door is also related to the aesthetics of the car. 2. Others: The quality of a car door is mainly reflected in its anti-collision performance, sealing performance, and ease of opening and closing. A car door consists of the door body, door accessories, and interior trim panel. Car doors can be classified into forward-opening, reverse-opening, and horizontally sliding types.
Speaking of car doors getting water inside, I once drove in a heavy rainstorm and suddenly found the interior all wet because rainwater seeped in through the window seals. It's true that car doors can let water in—normally, they're designed with drainage holes at the bottom to let rainwater out without issue. But the hidden danger is that these holes can easily get clogged by small debris. My car, for example, had its drainage holes blocked by leaves a few times, causing water to accumulate inside. Over time, rust becomes a problem—the inner door panels can corrode, even leading to malfunctioning window switches or electrical issues that prevent the car from starting. My lesson learned is to check the drainage holes every few months and use a thin stick to clear any blockages. When washing the car, avoid aiming high-pressure water jets directly at the door seams to prevent more water from leaking in. If you overlook these details, repair costs won’t be cheap. In short, developing good habits can save you from such headaches.
