Does the Magotan have drainage holes on the doors?
2 Answers
Yes, the Magotan has drainage holes on the doors, located at the bottom of the doors. Below are the relevant details: 1. Overview: Most door panels do not have drainage hoses, and rainwater is directly discharged from the rust-proofed door panels. Rainwater that enters the door will flow to the bottom drainage holes and be discharged. 2. Hazards: If the drainage holes are positioned too low, vehicles frequently driven on muddy roads may find the holes clogged with mud. Owners should regularly inspect them. If water accumulates inside the door, the thin waterproof film on the inner door panel cannot withstand heavy rainwater erosion. Excessive water ingress may damage components like the window regulator and audio system.
Having driven for over a decade, I'm quite knowledgeable about car details. When it comes to the Magotan's doors, there are indeed drainage holes located at the bottom edges, usually several small ones. These holes are designed to drain water, such as when it rains or during car washes, where water seeps into the door from the window gaps, and the drainage holes channel it out. If the holes get clogged with dust or leaves, water can accumulate inside the door, potentially corroding the metal structure over time and even affecting the power window functions. I experienced this once with my own Magotan—not cleaning the holes led to rust inside the door, making repairs quite troublesome. I recommend checking them monthly, using a small stick or soft wire to clear the holes and keep them unobstructed, which helps protect the vehicle and extend its lifespan. Especially in rainy areas, this small maintenance can prevent many potential issues.
