Can I Claim Insurance for Water Accumulation in the Car Due to a Clogged Sunroof?
1 Answers
Water accumulation in the car due to a clogged sunroof cannot be claimed under insurance. Below are relevant details about water accumulation in the car: Solutions: Check if the window waterproof strips are aged or loose, and replace them if necessary; inspect if the door drainage holes are clogged, and clear them if they are. Sunroof leaks are mostly caused by clogged sunroof drainage holes. A sunroof leak can wet the roof lining, and in severe cases, water may "pour" from the sunroof into the cabin. Hazards: A sunroof leak can range from merely wetting the roof lining to causing extensive water accumulation inside the cabin. Besides water "pouring" into the car through the sunroof, rainwater can also flow along the A-pillar or C-pillar to beneath the vehicle's carpet, forming hidden water accumulation. This situation is not easily noticeable. Rainwater wetting the interior can lead to mold growth, and contact with the car's metal body (where the paint is damaged) can cause rust.
