Does a Leaking Sunroof Count as a Flood-Damaged Vehicle?

It depends on the severity of the water exposure. Here are some details about flood-damaged vehicles: 1. Definition: A flood-damaged vehicle refers to a car that has been submerged in water, typically meaning the engine and transmission have been soaked, with water levels exceeding the wheels and seats, and prolonged contact between the vehicle's underbody components and water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical systems are prone to short circuits and potential fires. 2. Identification methods: Check for a musty odor inside the car. Flood-damaged vehicles often have a mildew smell in hidden areas like the floor mats, trunk lining, and under the seats, which is difficult to eliminate.
