Does the MG6 door require manual drainage?
2 Answers
The MG6 door requires manual drainage. There are drainage hole plugs on the MG6 doors, which can be removed for drainage. If not removed, it will affect the door drainage. The following are precautions regarding drainage: 1. The position of the car door drainage hole is relatively low. Driving on muddy roads or wading surfaces may affect the normal use of the drainage hole; 2. If water accumulates inside the door, it may damage equipment such as the window regulator and audio system, so the drainage hole plug should be removed; 3. There are many drainage holes on a car, and these holes usually have rubber plugs. Generally, the rubber plugs of drainage holes need to be removed to facilitate car drainage and prolong the car's lifespan; 4. The door drainage hole can be unclogged with hard objects like iron wire. Special care should be taken when cleaning the drainage holes hidden in the rubber sealing strips to avoid damaging the seals.
As an enthusiast with some knowledge about cars, I've driven the MG6 for quite a while, and indeed, the doors don't require manual drainage. The door panels at the bottom of this car are designed with special drainage holes, so rainwater or water from washing automatically flows out. Unless those holes get clogged, you won't need to intervene. I've personally experienced water accumulation in the doors—after washing the car, there was a splashing sound inside the door panels. Upon inspection, I found leaves or mud blocking the holes. Simply using a thin wire or a blower to gently clear them does the trick. Regularly doing this is crucial because prolonged blockage can not only cause odors inside the doors but also lead to rusting of internal structures and even affect the safety of window motors or audio wiring. In short, the MG6's design is smart, eliminating hassle, but maintaining simple upkeep habits is still essential.
